SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 27 – An arbitrator of the Major League Baseball Players Association issued two decisions on disputes between agent firm The Legacy Agency and three former employees.
Then parties asked to seal the decisions, or at least the dollar figures in them.
On September 27 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Judge Koeltl told the parties whatever the arbitration rules, the dollar figure was already public: $816,500 plus pre-judgment interest.
Ultimately the parties agreed it made no sense to seek to seal something already public.
The case is The Legacy Agency, Inc. v. Scoffield et al., 20-cv-5771 (Koeltl)
