Yahoo! Sports – MLB – D.C. official says baseball returning to Washington; announcement Wednesday
If it becomes clear Wednesday that the Expos will finally be leaving Montreal after this season, will more fans or fewer fans show up for the last game that night?
If baseball announces that the Expos are moving, will they have to pay off the extremely limited partners Jeffrey Loria left behind in Montreal, who are presently suing because they believe he ran the franchise he was sheparding into the ground? And if they don’t (or if they have not yet), might not the announcement eventually become yet another embarrasment for the lords of baseball?
We shall see.
There’s a lot of finagling going on behind the scenes, we can be sure. If there wasn’t, this deal would have been done long ago.
