South Shore Baseball LLC dba the Gary Ra

| Winston & Strawn successfully represented four professional minor league baseball teams, the Gary SouthShore Railcats, the Winnipeg Goldeyes, the Kansas City T-Bones, and the Fargo Redhawks, in their successful efforts to transfer their franchises from the Northern League of Professional Baseball Teams (NL) to the American Association (AA). After the four teams indicated their desire to move to the AA, the remaining members of the NL threatened litigation to enforce various clauses in the teams' agreement with the NL so that the firm's clients could not move to the new league for the 2011 season and alleged significant monetary penalties. Winston assisted the four teams in crafting and negotiating a settlement and severance agreement that did not require the payment of any monies to the NL. |
