I had the opportunity earlier this season to attend a roundtable with Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and Arizona Diamondbacks ticket holders. The conversation focused mostly on the state of the game and a team that is one of the best stories in baseball. Young stars. Clutch wins. Division contenders. This season is must-see viewing.
Unfortunately, the commissioner spent a portion of his time discussing an off-field topic that is distracting from the great on-field product.
An ongoing legal struggle between the Diamondbacks and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors over Chase Field repairs and capital improvements is rounding third and heading right into the courtroom.
