In the midst of another relatively cheap offseason for the Washington Nationals, a development came this week in the ongoing MASN case that could change the teams future. According to Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun, the Nationals filed a petition to uphold a previous MLB committee ruling that stated the Orioles needed to give the Nats a $320 million cash infusion in rights fees.
This update reinforces the problems the Nationals have had with TV rights over the years. The Orioles have dominated the Nats TV revenue since the club has come to DC, taking resources away from the team.
