The Supreme Court of the United States denied review of San Jose vs. Commissioner of Baseball this morning, ending the city's attempt to bring down Major League Baseball's antitrust exemption with regard to the location of franchises and most likely its route through litigation to force Major League Baseball to approve the relocation of the Oakland Athletics to San Jose. The Court does not typically explain why it denies review, though this particular case was fraught with problems that made this case not the most ideal for the Court to reconsider its antitrust precedents.
One significant issue was whether San Jose had standing to sue in the first place.
