"Jeffrey Loria doesn't have a signed agreement to buy the Florida Marlins from John Henry, but baseball's ownership committee already has recommended approval of the sale. "

In the past, baseball sometimes didn't approve sales for several months after a deal was in place; here they are hell bent on approving this deal, which will lead to MLB owning the Expos.

Another example of baseball owners acting clueless

It's not cluelessness. It's downright collusion.

MLB specifically setup Lauria and Henry which is completely against the rules of the commissioners office.

They set those two up, so that Henry could have enough money to the Red Sox. Lauria could by the Marlins and baseball could fold the Expos.

That Red Sox purchase was the biggest bullshit. That was the lowest bid out of five. There was one decree. "The highest bid will be taken", but MLB stepped in and fixed the whole thing. It's a fucking abomination.
