New York's highest court ruled for the Washington Nationals on Tuesday in a long-running dispute with the Baltimore Orioles over television rights fees, a disagreement that has complicated a potential sale of the Nationals.
The Orioles control the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, a two-team regional sports network. Last decade, an arbitration committee of baseball executives appointed by the Major League Baseball commissioner said the value for the Nationals should be set at $297 million for 2012 through 2016.
