Remember when Jim Crane bought the Astros and the only way he'd get approval is if he agreed to move the team to the American League?

I'm thinking there's a good chance this trade doesn't happen.
He's already warned Loria before about pocketing all the money he gets from revenue sharing while claiming to be "poor" or a small market but can't do anything more based on the current rules.

ESPN mentioned the only thing he could do is try to veto it but probably won't because in terms of money, the trade is basically even.
