I haven't seen anything to indicate an issue with the Padres sale beyond egos. That's what you get when you have owners and formal partners in charge of approving new owners. @lonndoggie I agree.

They should have blocked the sale when the process started if they had issues. What's changed since then, other than this group is ready to pull the trigger now, rather than on the original, longer time-line? Go fix the LA debacle and learn from that; San Diego's purchase doesn't need fixing. This is crap (“this”, meaning preventing the completion of the sale).
