Message #431 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   Reedster   Subject :   'Major League' in Real Life: Former Expo Owner Loria and MLB On the Hot Seat Date :   5/17/04, 6:58pm 14 former partners/owners of the Montreal Expos have sued former Expos owner (and current Marlin owner) Jeff Loria and the MLB.The arbitration over this case is being heard today.The essential claim is that Loria purposefully sabotaged the Expos for the purpose of generating so little local interest in the team, that the team would be able to freely move from Montreal.As far as I am aware, there is no evidence that Loria scouted the California Penal League for pitchers, but I wouldn't be surprised. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #431 • Back to Topics 3025 reads 1064 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!

Last season, the Expos had a pretty decent season, but the loss of Vladimir Guerrero has been a huge contributing factor to their downfall this season. Loria is not responsible for this because he was long gone before last season. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #432 • Back to Topics 3926 reads
