I don't know how else to interpret it. The new owner has come in, has intentionally antagonized the fan base, has slashed costs without any evident thought about the effects, and has started making the franchise radioactive to any free agents or trade targets (as if that wasn't already hard).

All of this combined with the immediate and persistent rumors that he is looking to move the team to a market that he favors. It seems pretty clear that he's engineering the conditions that would lead to a team's relocation.

This is chapter-and-verse the movie *Major League*. The only thing we need is a cardboard cut-out of him that will eventually be stripped down to him in a provocative bikini with little bits taken off after every win.
