MLB delays sale of Padres to Moorad
Speaking of Leigh Steinberg, one of Steinberg's former partners, Jeff Moorad will have to wait a little longer before the other Baseball owners approve the sale of the San Diego Padres to Moorad.
Three more years for Bud
As expected, Major League Baseball owners voted 29-1 to give Commissioner Bud Selig a two year contract extension. Selig had said he would retire after the 2012 season, but now it appears he will be around to at least 2014. Only one owner voted against the extension, San Diego Padres owner John Moores was so upset that Selig delayed the vote on the sale of the Padres, that he refused to vote yes on Selig's extension.
