The agreement to settle with MLB.TV is not the panacea that cord cutters wanted, however.
Major League Baseball has reached a settlement with plaintiffs seeking to end MLB's regional television blackout policy on the basis that the restrictions are a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The settlement in Garber v. MLB, which does not resolve that question, allows to stand a potentially persuasive (though not binding) lower court ruling that MLB's television model is not within the traditional antitrust exemption for baseball.
What the agreement does do is open more doors for A's fans to legally watch games on the Internet, though it is not the panacea that cord cutters are hoping for.
