My guess is that baseball is already facing enough financial challenges that it doesn’t need to deal with all the nonsense that comes when mixing sports with politics.

Yeah, only the NFL is financially strong enough to engage in that misadventure; fending off a perfectly qualified owner because of a few ignorant, racist big mouths.
Yeah, it’s that and I think Selig and the team owners are concerned about angering the fans in Arizona and really hurting the Arizona Diamondbacks franchise. If they move the game, that also sets a precedent of reacting to political events, and once MLB starts to do that then when does it end?
