NEW YORK (AP) - The Washington Nationals aren’t getting their more than $99 million payment from the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network quite yet.
New York Supreme Court Justice Joel M. Cohen on Monday stayed enforcement of the judgment pending an appeal by the Baltimore Orioles, who own a controlling interest in MASN.
Cohen in August upheld an April 15 decision by a Major League Baseball arbitration panel that set the Nationals’ TV rights for 2012-16 at nearly $297 million. Subtracting payments already made by MASN, a proposed judgment submitted by the parties last week set the net figure owed the Nationals at $99.
