Finley Blames Kuhn Over Vida Blue Contract Row
Oakland owner Charles O. Finley blames commissioner Bowie Kuhn for derailing Vida Blue's contract, claiming Kuhn arbitrarily involved himself in the dispute and lacked authority. Finley, in Milwaukee, refused to keep an offer open until Kuhn retracts or orders Blue to accept, citing a 22 hour Chicago meeting that collapsed the joint deal. Blue earned 14,750 last season and was MVP and Cy Young award winner. Finley had offered 50,000 for 1972 plus 13,000 bonus for 1971.
