Speaking to the Baseball Writers Association in Seattle on Tuesday, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said the league's 13 teams under the Bally Sports regional sports networks umbrella have received most of their owed local TV rights fees from Bally's bankrupt operator, Diamond Sports Group.
“Of the rights fees that have come due, I think we’ve collected 94% of those rights fees so far. And that’s really important,” said Manfred, in Seattle to witness the MLB's annual All Star Game and surrounding events. The event was covered by Associated Press.
