Selig Softens Contraction Fears While Addressing Royals Stadium Needs
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig told reporters in Kissimmee that the Royals face no contraction risk and that stadium improvements at Kauffman Stadium must be addressed. He noted the $125 million plan may be necessary for owner David Glass to keep up with Detroit and division rivals, while stressing no talks about contracting Kansas City. Voters will decide in November on a tax for stadium upgrades, with Missouri lawmakers negotiating partial funding of about $50 million for both St. Louis and Kansas City.
