Jury Verdict in Wild Thing's suit against MLBNetwork
A jury deliberated for under three hours in the civil suit of Mitch Williams vs. MLB Network. The jury of eight split 6-2 in favor of the plaintiff in his breach of employment contract case. They awarded Williams over 1.5 million dollars. The jury was 7-1 against Williams on whether he deserved damages for his option year which could have meant an additional $700,000.
This ends the three year saga that began in a Mother's Day tournament in 2014 and ended a few minutes ago. It remains to be seen if Williams will be able to obtain employment as an analyst for baseball teams in the future. He now resides in Texas. While the award seems like a lot of money, it is subject to substantial legal fees, and federal taxes.
