The Associated Press has obtained the details of the settlement reached between Major League Baseballs owners to divide the money:
New York Yankees: 2B
Boston Redsox: 1.5B
New York Mets: 1B
Anaheim Angels: 750M
St. Louis Cardinals: 750M
Chicago Cubs: 750M
Los Angeles Dodgers: 750M
San Francisco Giants: 750M
Arizona Diamondbacks: 500M
Houston Astros: 500M
San Diego Padres: 500M
Atlanta Braves: 500M
Florida Marlins: 500M
Philadelphia Phillies: 500M
Baltimore Orioles: 500M
Detroit Tigers: 500M
Toronto Blue Jays: 500M
Texas Rangers: 500M
Seattle Mariners: 500M
Cleveland Indians: 500M
Chicago Whitesox: 500M
Oakland Athletics: 300M
Cincinnati Reds: 300M

Tampa Bay Devil Rays: 300M
Minnesota Twins: 300M
Pittsburgh Pirates: 300M
Milwaukee Brewers: 300M
Colorado Rockies: 200M
Washington Nationals: N/A
The measure passed after a 25-4 vote, with 86% of the votes in favor of selling and the payment distribution agreement. George Steinbrenner and John Henry were philosophically opposed to giving up their teams. Athletics owner Lewis Wolff and Rockies owner Charles Monfort were not happy with their shares. Regardless, the measure had enough votes to pass. Nevertheless, Steinbrenner and Henry are promising legal action – Monfort and Wolff have not yet accepted any money but are unsure if they will pursue legal action.
