Dissension in the ranks
True to form, when the going gets tough, MLB owners turn to infighting. According to unnamed sources quoted in the Washington Times, a group of owners is now pressing Bud Selig to ditch the current Montreal Expos relocation process, and instead just "sell the team, get the money and let the new owner figure all this out."
It's pretty unlikely Selig will go for this - among other things, the whole point of starting a multi-city bidding war was to get a lucrative stadium deal that would drive up the team's sale price - but it does indicate that at least some owners are growing frustrated with the growing Expos money pit.
