built 777 days ago
A popular Twin Cities radio station sponsored a Carl Pohlad and baseball commissioner Bud Selig effigy contest outside a St. Paul bar early one morning this fall. The few listeners who turned out had no problem attracting support from passing motorists.

Drayton McClain, owner of the Houston Astros, said Tuesday that he was aware of the controversy and had talked to Pohlad and Selig. He said there was no conflict of interest and that American League owners were aware of the loan at the time.

[I]t bears noting that Pohlad’s burnt offering of the Twins helps Selig in larger ways than the mere addition of a few bucks to his pocket. (And don’t be fooled—while Selig’s 35 percent share of the Brewers was nominally placed in a trust when he became commissioner, he obviously understands the financial implications for his team of any decision he makes as commissioner.) Pohlad’s willingness to join in on contraction has allowed Bud and his brethren to charge ahead with their latest scheme for realizing the goal they have always held dearest: breaking the players’ union.
