Filed under: Rangers, MLB Playoffs, MLB Trade Deadline, World SeriesARLINGTON, Texas -- Reacting to Mike Maddux's assertion that he was the Rangers' MVP for allowing them to "operate without a checkbook" to get Cliff Lee, commissioner Bud Selig said before Game 4 of the World Series that he did not regret the way the situation was handled.
"I understand (the criticism)," Selig said. "I did at the time what I would do again. Absolutely it's the right thing to do."
The Rangers were getting support from MLB while the club was involved in bankrupcy proceedings over the summer, before the sale to Chuck Greenberg's group. The Rangers added more than $2 million to their payroll with the Lee trade. Selig said the investment the other clubs made in supporting the Rangers has been repaid.
