Move The Montreal Expos to Milwaukee And Fold The Brewers? (Dec 13 2003 14:59 GMT) - Harvey Araton of the NY Times:In Milwaukee, fans are livid over the dealing of Richie Sexson (45 home runs last season) to Arizona and the team's recent announcement that it will cut payroll by 25 percent next season, to $30 million. Wisconsin politicians who supported a five-county sales tax to build Miller Park are accusing the longtime lowly Brewers — 191-295 in their three-year-old home — of reneging on a promise to field a competitive team in return for the park.As commissioner, Selig presided over the collective bargaining agreement reached in 2002 that helped the Brewers collect about $15 million from revenue sharing in 2003. How does the Brewers' plan to cut $10 million from a bare-bones payroll jibe with the rationale for siphoning money from big markets to small? |
