The Los Angeles Dodgers’ new $3 billion broadcast agreement with News Corp.’s Fox may need the approval of Major League Baseball’s yet-to-be-named trustee for the team, according to a former CBS Sports executive.
“The trustee would take a very serious look at that deal and could very well void it,” Neal Pilson, a former president of CBS Sports, said in an interview, noting he isn’t privvy to the details. “He may very well think the team can get more money if they put it up for bid.”
