Baseball Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr. issued the following statement today regarding the Time Warner Cable proposal to resolve the Los Angeles Dodgers distribution dispute:
"The distribution dispute involving DirecTV, AT&T, COX and Verizon has gone on too long. The Dodgers' massive fan base deserves to be able to watch Dodger games regardless of their choice of provider. The situation is particularly acute given that this is Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully's final season. Time Warner has made a significant economic move that I hope will be accepted by the providers."
