The last time he did it MLB gave him a new team, so don't count on it.
This.
As horrible as it was for the Nats to be owned by MLB for those first couple of years, it had one positive - it made sure Loria wasn't still the owner by the time we got the team. Can you imagine if MLB had allowed Loria to move the Expos directly to DC, with him still as the owner??? What's happening in Miami now could be happening to us.
