Signaling a major thaw in the icy relationship between Major League Baseball and bankrupt regional sports networks operator Diamond Sports Group, lawyers for the league on Friday said they have agreed, through mediation, on a framework to keep 11 MLB clubs on Bally Sports channels through the 2024 season.
Attorneys representing MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Chris Lopez that they were dropping their motion to have Diamond accept or reject the existing local TV rights deals for each club.
