The Nationals will likely be joining MLB’s TV umbrella this year, sources said.
The team has been with MASN since 2004. In March, the Nationals and Orioles settled a prolonged legal dispute over television rights, which allowed Washington to seek other options following the expiration of its one-year deal with MASN for 2025. Orioles President of Business Operations Catie Griggs had said MASN remained interested in working with the Nationals to retain the rights.
Washington would become the seventh team under MLB’s TV umbrella, joining the D-backs, Padres, Rockies, Twins, Guardians and Mariners. Nationals blogger Talk Nats previously reported the likely decision.
Washington has been busy overhauling its front office, including hiring Paul Toboni to run baseball operations and Jason Sinnarajah to run business operations.
