Filing in MASN case questions Orioles’ ‘long-term viability’ in Baltimore, but mayor ‘confident’ of club’s commitment
Brandon Scott sat with Orioles Chairman and CEO John Angelos last month and said he believes, as Angelos has insisted, that the baseball team has no plans to leave town. “There are many worries that I have,” said the Democratic mayor of Baltimore. “The Orioles are not one.” But in a document filed ahead of a crucial appeal for the Orioles in a long-running financial dispute with the Washington Nationals regarding the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, known as MASN, the city floated the possibility that the team’s future in Baltimore could be jeopardized.
