Camden Depot: 2018 All Star Game and MASN

"in a break from tradition, one league - the NL - will be awarded four straight all-star games (2015 through 2018). The AL will even bat last, as if it was the home team, in 2018."

MLB has decided to punish the city of Baltimore by not awarding them the All-Star Game due to the fact that MASN hasn’t agreed to respect the RSDC's decision. If MLB is willing to do that then can either the Nationals or MASN trust them to make a fair ruling even if it goes against MLB's own interest? The connection between the All-Star Game and the MASN Lawsuit is that they both show how MLB is willing to use its power in order to achieve their own interests.

It's not a nice world under there.

It's not a nice world under there.

And this is why MLB is gonna be embarrassed a lot in the future. They played dirty and played both sides to get a viable team in DC. Now its coming home to bite them in the ass. Manfred will be exposed to his 2nd official case of questionable tactics. Its gonna be fun watching him sweat it out in open court.

It's going to get really ugly, but I expect us to be the bridesmaid until we acquiesce to MLB's demands.

I think it continues to be kicked down the road until Angelos and company decide to sell. It then will be hashed out in the sale.

I expect him to sell sometime in the next five years. He already got far into negotiations at least a couple times. I think the last time much of the now Dodgers group was involved. Pretty sure it was the Dodgers group without Magic and a couple others.

Classic example of be careful what you wish and the replacement could be worse.

People hated Bud Selig and disagreed with his handling of things.

Yes, he sucked.

But, it looks like his replacement is worse.

Bud Selig sent a very clear, written warning that if either party took MLB to court instead of following the process set out in the MASN agreement, there would be hell to pay. MLB obviously can't take any action that would affect the integrity of the competition on the field, so this is a way to follow through on their warning and punish the Orioles for disobeying that directive.
