New bid for Expos

A proposal to buy the Montreal Expos Major League Baseball team has been submitted to commissioner Bud Selig.

Selig has always maintained he hopes the Expos will be under new ownership later this summer. He has said previously he hoped a decision over future ownership of the franchise would be made by July.
The latest bid comes from a consortium from Puerto Rico.
The Expos, owned by the league, has also attracted attention from frontrunners for the franchise – Washington DC and Northern Virginia.
