Baseball faces court fight after Kuhn blocks Vida Blue sale
New York United Press International reports Commissioner Bowie Kuhn blocked the Dec 9 trade of Vida Blue to the Cincinnati Reds for 1.75 million and Dave Bevering, calling it not in baseballs best interests. Reds president Bob Howsam criticized the decision, Finley vowed to go to court, and Kuhn urged clubs to seek a workable restructuring. The case follows previous Kuhn actions canceling major deals and sets the stage for an appeals court review in Feb. The dispute centers on baseballs control over player movement and competitive balance.
