Not sure why we care about this anymore. Money will go into the Lerners' pockets and they'll go out the door. None is getting invested in the team.
A resolution is important so they can sell the team. They are a lame duck team until sold, and this is the first domino we are waiting for.
I really wish the mlb would have made good on Selig's promise:
After the RSDC issued its determination, Selig reiterated to both teams that the
settlement agreement did not authorize them “to file any lawsuit” and that the MLB
constitution “expressly prohibited” litigation in court. Selig cautioned both teams that “if
any party initiate[d] any lawsuit,” he would “not hesitate to impose the strongest sanctions
available” under MLB’s constitution.
This litigation is not in good faith, and mlb should have stepped in. The decision was actually closer to what the O's wanted vs the Nat's number, and I can't imagine any panel determining a number that was more than a million or two/year different.
