Bud Selig not happy with recent deal between Toronto Blue Jays and Miami Marlins – MLB Update
With a recent detailed interview with Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, the media are making different types of hypothesis.
According to their point of views, these reporters are saying that Bud Selig is not at all happy with the recent blockbuster trade between the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays.
Miami Marlins, taking such a bold step, sent their three best players to the Blue Jays in exchange of some not so experience prospects.
This trade with a slight twist in it, giving not such a good impression to the fans. These people, who think that Marlins should have not traded Mark Buehrle, Jose Reyes and Josh Johnson, are convinced that the Miami owners have their own interest in this deal regardless of their future performance.
However, Bud Selig is the first major individual; who has publically raised questions on Miami’s this initiative. He thinks that the Marlins, with a new team, ballpark and all set of new management, should have seen some long term goals and must have prepared themselves to match the future challenges before making this huge trade.
“I’ve talked to two baseball people — I have a lot of people that I check with and talk to — who have, actually, an interesting view on the trade. They think that (Miami), in terms of young players, did very well. These are two independent baseball people. These are not chefs in these kitchens here,” Selig said at an airport hotel just outside of Chicago as he explained his reservations on the recent deal.
He added, “So I want to think about all of it and I want to review everything. I want to be my usual painstaking, cautious, slow, conservative self in analyzing it. . . .. I know what the commissioner can do, can’t do, what his legal responsibilities are.”
Now since the baseball commissioner has taken notice regarding this deal between the Marlins and Blue Jays, many experts believe that whatever the outcome will be after Bud Selig’s review, a new precedent should be given for guidance to all the Major League owners regarding big trades.
