It appears the deadline for selling the team has been extended. Goldni is happy.
I had an idea something like this would happen. Leipold would have no reason to re-open negotiations if he thought the Freeman group was making progress toward a deal. In spite of everything, it sounds like he’d much rather sell the team to the local group than to the liar Jim Balsillie. And with more time, Mayor Dean and the Metro Council will have more time to analyze a deal and make sure the city gets the best possible outcome. Everyone wins.
