Judge upholds $100M TV money win for Washington Nationals in dispute against Baltimore Orioles
with the parties arguing for different standards — the Orioles looking to a methodology factoring revenue and expenses ; the Nationals putting weight on what other teams throughout professional baseball were getting in their own TV contracts.
In a ruling on Thursday, New York Supreme Court Judge Joel Cohen notes the narrow grounds to vacate under the Federal Arbitration Act and concludes that the Orioles can't demonstrate "evident partiality," not from the way that MLB once extended a $25 million advance to the Nationals in its television dispute nor from public statements made by MLB about this case.
Cohen also rules that the Orioles weren't denied adequate opportunity to present its case. The judge notes the "voluminous record" over seven years and how the arbitration panel considered various discovery requests and rejected them in a reasoned order.This outcome wasn't terribly unexpected by the parties. The Orioles have already signaled its intention to take the dispute to an appeals court in New York that was divided during the earlier round.
