Associated Press: Houston Astros to the AL in 2013
http://blog.chron.com/ultimateastros...wners-leagues/
The AP cited two people familiar with the negotiations concerning the move, which would take effect in 2013. An MLB spokesman declined to comment. A spokesman for Crane said Friday that he’s not aware of an agreement over the terms of a move to the AL. The terms of compensation are not known, though MLB and Crane are known to have discussed a $50 million arrangement at one point.

Re: Associated Press: Houston Astros to the AL in 2013
The part that confuses me is this: Why do they get $50M or anything like that, for moving leagues?

For those of us in it for the long haul, this is the best news of the offseason.

Re: Associated Press: Houston Astros to the AL in 2013
I can't believe something that I've been saying for years should happen ... is actually happening.
Now maybe Mike Brown will wise up and trade Carson Palmer. (Oh wait!) |

Re: Associated Press: Houston Astros to the AL in 2013
I just don't like seeing a traditional NL team (and one of the easier ones to beat over the next many years BTW) is the team that gets moved. Still think the team ought to be the Rockies (my preference) or maybe the D-Backs just because they don't have near the NL roots and they just seem like AL teams (moreso Colorado) to me.

Re: Associated Press: Houston Astros to the AL in 2013
I'm going to go against the grain here and say I hate to see any team moving to the AL and forcing interleague play to become a routine part of the schedule. I've been holding out hope that interleague would go away to allow more games against the teams that are actually competing against each other for the pennant. This move will ensure that interleague is here forever.

Re: Associated Press: Houston Astros to the AL in 2013
Houston to the AL means the DH to the NL.

Re: Associated Press: Houston Astros to the AL in 2013
And Houston fans are going to hate it. At least the ones I've heard from.
