Orioles, Nationals finish arguments in TV dispute rehearing

The Orioles and Washington Nationals finished their arguments in a two-day rehearing before a committee of baseball executives in their long-running dispute over television rights fees.

They completed their presentations Friday before the Revenue Sharing Definitions Committee, which now includes Milwaukee Brewers chairman Mark Attanasio, Seattle Mariners president Kevin Mather and Toronto Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro. Written briefs are due Dec. 14, and no reply briefs are scheduled.

In 2012, an RSDC that then included Pittsburgh Pirates president Frank Coonelly, Tampa Bay Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg and New York Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon ruled the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network owed the Nationals $298 million for the team's 2012-2016 television rights.
