I saw this article today.  It basically says the M's have signed a new deal with FSN for 12 years / $400+ million.  I know it is good for the M's and is larger than their previous contract.  However, I don't really know how this deal compares to other clubs, how it will impact payroll, etc?  I'd appreciate some feedback/thoughts from people more knowledgeable than I am.

Update [2007-11-8 12:57:16 by Jed MC]: I did a little research and the prior deal was 10 years / $288 million for 2001 through 2010. I guess the new deal will replace the remaining years of the prior deal and the extend it. Hopefully they can use some of the extra money on payroll and not just fill their Scrooge McDuck-like money tower.
