would he have to contribute, or could he just say no?
If the Nats and Os were guaranteed $100 million each in revenue and MASN only brings in $180 million, someone would have to come up with the extra cash, either Angelos and Lerner at their current level of ownership, or some other contribution which would alter the ownership stakes. The alternatives are complete liquidation of the network or allowing the Nats to break from the deal. With hundreds of millions of dollars at stake it's no wonder that the negotiations are getting messy. One question I have is whether the Lerner family had this figured out before signing the deal to purchase the team.
