I agree with Chris (Padres owner) that allowing this is not fair to the other teams in the league.

This move along with the contract restructuring are within the rules that govern FGM. I made my trade for Morneau with the idea in place to restructure his contract and then extend him which the current rules allow. Not allowing this extension and changing the rules because it is your opinion that this is not fair affects the value of Morneau and is unfair to me. You don't change the rules to the game in the middle of it and not allow a move. Now if you want to change the rules in response to this move that is for the league and the Rules Committee to discuss.

The Commissioner decides what rules are placed before the Rules Committee, not vice versa.
