Major League Baseball Puts Off Cutting Teams VOA News 6 Feb 2002 00:38 UTC 
Fans of the Minnesota Twins and Montreal Expos will have Major League Baseball this year. Faced with a string of courtroom losses, Commissioner Bud Selig Tuesday put off until next year a plan to eliminate two teams.
Baseball had wanted to get rid of the Twins and Expos before the start of the upcoming season but was thrwarted by the Twins' landlord, which obtained an injunction that forced the team to honor its 2002 lease.
On Monday, the Minnesota Supreme Court refused to consider an appeal of the injunction. Selig, without specifying teams, vowed to press forward with the elimination of some teams in 2003.
