A judge ordered the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network to pay the Nationals nearly an extra $100 million dollars for television rights from 2012 to 2016, which would have made the deal about $60 million a year.

New York Supreme Court Justice Joel M. Cohen wrote in a decision issued Thursday that MASN should pay the Nationals the $296.8 million recommended by the panel, minus rights fees MASN already has paid for that five-year period. Cohen said the clerk of the court should calculate interest on the net amount from April 15 through the date the remaining money is paid.

Note the Nationals received about $200 million of that during the time period. That might help them keep one of their star free agents.
