The Nationals filed a petition Monday to "certify a ruling" from MLB's Revenue Sharing Definitions Committee that says the Orioles and MASN will owe "just under" $320.5M in television rights fees for the right to broadcast their games for the 2022 to 2026 seasons, according to documents filed with the Supreme Court of N.Y. While MASN has been the subject of lengthy litigation "for almost the entirety of its existence," a timely court ruling by N.Y. Supreme Court Judge Andrew Borrok and "no further pushback by the Orioles would ensure the two clubs have an agreement for the distribution of MASN’s rights fees in place for future seasons" for the first time since they began negotiations in 2012 (BALTIMORE SUN, 1/3).
