LDF Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 http://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/200...121walker.shtml this is worth reading esp since it talked about the colon trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 It doesn't matter whether Selig had a hand in the Colon trade. In the long run, it probably doesn't matter whether the deal pushes the White Sox over the top or not. What matters is that the league has put itself in a position where speculation like this even makes sense. Each day that Major League Baseball owns the Montreal Expos is a day in which baseball fans have yet another reason - another very good reason - to question the league's integrity and, by extension, their own support of the game. Fix it, Bud. this alone is not a good thing... your right that article was good reading and interesting... puts a warning signal up in the air though for all the other teams to wonder if the trade was on the up and up... suppose it could go challanged at some point in time huh??? doesnt make things look good for us since jr and bud are pals and kw hasnt got the brain enough to know that GOD gave man fire....if this writer can put this in perspective imagine what a gm who actually wanted in on the colon deal can do with it legaly???? definately needs to be thought about huh................

YASNY Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Interesting .... I submitted this theory back on Jan 12 .... before the Colon trade: Since Reinsdorf is on the committee... and seems to suck up to Selig, we may get Colon for that very reason. The Expos are owned by MLB. Selig is the commisioner, therefore makes all the decisions. Minaya is the Expos GM, therefore is employeed by MLB, and effectively has to answer to Selig. Reinsdorf is the only owner in baseball to have a minority GM and manager. Minority hirings is one of Seligs pet projects. Since Reinsdorf is such a suck up, Selig may very well throw him the proverbial bone... Colon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 This first surfaced with the Cliff Floyd trade. MLB has got to either sell or contract the Expos. This just LOOKS bad... even if it turns out be on the up and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
