Lawsuit Settled

MLB and fans settled their lawsuit over broadcasting.

The trial had been scheduled to start Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, though officials indicated last week that it was unlikely to take place, as both sides and the judge ceased filing papers associated with the case.

MLB’s lawyers also said recently they were planning to make the same changes to their television packages as the National Hockey League made when it settled its side of the lawsuit last year. The NHL also agreed to let fans buy single-team packages.

The new packages have not yet been publicly announced by baseball and pricing information about them has not been released.

Stay tuned for details, but MLB is moving in the right direction with this.
