Major League Baseball owners have been meeting in Orlando, Florida for the last couple of days. The meetings have just concluded, and Eric Fisher of Sports Business Journal has tweeted out some things that were discussed. Here are some of the more important highlights:
MLB owners meetings are done in Orlando - a few quick hits. First - owners did discuss RSN situation at length. The league has moved to a second stage of bidding that allows them access to more info, and is hopeful this will present a chance to have more control re local rights

This is important, as I wrote a couple of days ago, because it appears that whoever eventually buys the 21 Fox RSNs that are up for sale might wind up being the Cubs’ “strategic partner” when they launch their own network.
