Maury Brown brings more pain to Jim Crane in his latest post on what the external hold-ups might be. Hint: Selig might just be trying to fracture the investment group:
While there’s been plenty of talk that MLB could reject Crane as an owner, what is becoming a larger issue is Crane being able to hold his ownership group together. The large group that has investments as low as $25 million in the deal, could become fragmented over time. For MLB, instead of rejecting Crane, the deal could whither on the vine.
Read it all. Now.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
