Couple of updates from the Fox affiliate in Pheonix, including the fact that Bud Selig is weighing in on where the Cubs should spent their spring break each year - and he'll likely get his way:
MESA - A source close to the Ricketts' family, the current owner of the Cubs, says they're 99 percent sure the Cubs are staying in Mesa for spring training.
The Cubs have expressed desire for a bigger and better training facility, and have tossed around the idea of moving to Florida after their contract is up at Hohokam Park.
The commissioner of baseball, Bud Selig reportedly told the Cubs he'd prefer they stay in Mesa.t;/p>
Travel logistics and the tendency for rain in the spring in Florida are two issues that add favor to the Cactus League.
My gut reaction - as with all things Bud Selig - is that Bud should mind his own business. My second reaction, however, is this is Bud Selig's business as it speaks to the success of franchises throughout baseball.
Dammit.
