Moving to the other side of the table

The purchase of the Arizona Diamondbacks by a partnership headed by Jeff Moorad has been approved by Major League Baseball:

Commissioner Bud Selig granted approval to former super agent Jeff Moorad to join the Diamondbacks ownership group. An official announcement from the commissioner’s office is expected shortly, possibly as early as today.

“I'm happy to have this process behind us,” Moorad said. “And I'm appreciative of the commissioner’s effort as well as his staffs' effort, working through a long process, but one that ended in the right way.”

There's some ironic justice in this in that he now has to find ways to pay some of the salaries that he previously negotiated.
