Possible ownership changes
Expos owner Jeffrey Loria takes buyout and purchases Marlins, takes three Expos players, five prospects and manager Jeff Torborg with him
Marlins owner John Henry buys Angels from Disney, takes 3-4 Marlins players with him
Twins owner Carl Pohlad takes buyout, reportedly up to $250 million

Pros	Cons
Expos have no long-term commitments aside from player contracts and spring training complex, the latter they share with Cardinals anyway	Potential showdown with Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura or state legislature
Loria gets wish to remain a team owner	Moving Loria to Marlins doesn't solve Florida's problems unless he can negotiate move to D.C./Northern Virginia
Selig gets radical realignment he's wanted for years	Arizona doesn't want to move to AL
Pohlad wants out	Twins were actually good this season
Henry remains an owner, has past ties to Southern California
MLB eliminates Twins' messy stadium situation
