If Selig decides to put his foot down after the long line of Loria fire sales, this will appear as nothing more than targetting the Blue Jays and showing favoritism to the 'chosen ones' of the AL East. Not like it will change anything either. Loria will just sell off the pieces individually and do exactly what he set out to do in the first place - gut the team.
Selig can't force him to keep certain players.

Yeah the PR should be pretty bad if he way overstepped his bounds and squashed the deal. Like you said, it's not much different than what Boston did this season and Miami actually ended up with a much better return in their salary dump. You can't just let some teams dump salary and not others. If there is an issue, force Loria to sell and actually eliminate the problem not just the symptom.
