Selig still hedging on Expos
MLB commissioner Bud Selig seems determined to drag out his multi-city bidding war for the Montreal Expos as long as necessary to shake a new stadium loose from some unsuspecting metropolis. In his latest public statements, Selig indicated that the team could be moved to a new temporary home just for 2004, either one of the three declared suitors (Washington, Northern Virginia, or Portland) or possibly some mix of Montreal, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Monterrey, Mexico.
"Obviously the options are the various cities that have expressed interest, as well as the cities that have expressed interest in a series of games or all the games," said Selig, in a language curiously similar to English. "The relocation committee is hard at work in finding a home for the Expos. We'll make that determination in the coming weeks, or how long it takes."
