It sounds like the council members have either received money from the other possible buyers or they're just plain idiots. Jeffrey Smulyan would be an outside owner - from Cleveland or somewhere like that I believe - who owned the Mariners for a few years and had them moved to Tampa before a local group stepped in and kept them here. I can't imagine why anyone would prefer an owner with his track record. I don't know much about the other group, but I can't see why anyone would have a problem with local owners who followed every request MLB made of them (do not talk publically about purchase, etc...).
