Look at it from an owner point of view:
Labour peace for a decade - which is astounding for a sport that had something like eight disruptions in the 23 years or so before 1994.
Are many of these teams - aside from Montreal - actually losing money. In fact, does Montreal lose money?
I wonder if the Boston Red Sox voted for Selig given the whining they threw up over the Yankees heisting all the best players?
If there's ever a group of owners you should never trust a word about financial distress coming from their pieholes, its this group.
