Minnesota Court Refuses to
Consider Injunction Appeal
ST. PAUL, Minn. (Feb. 4) -- The Minnesota Supreme Court refused Monday to consider an appeal of an injunction that forces the Minnesota Twins to fulfill their Metrodome lease, all but killing baseball's contraction plan for this season.
The high court's action Monday means an injunction issued by a Hennepin County judge in November will stand -- barring intervention by the U.S. Supreme Court, which is unlikely.
Unless there is a strike or a lockout, the Twins will take the field for their 42nd season in Minnesota. Their season opener is April 1 at Kansas City and their home opener is April 12 against Detroit.

Marlins Employees Worried About Future
MIAMI (AP) - Florida Marlins employees, worried about their future with the sale of the team pending, were told Monday the franchise remains in limbo barely a week before the start of spring training.
Approval of the sale of the team to Montreal Expos owner Jeffrey Loria is likely next week, and he is expected to bring many Expos employees with him. That includes manager Jeff Torborg, interim general manager Larry Beinfest, executive vice president David Samson and much of the scouting and player development departments.
A wave of defections has left executive vice president Julio Rebull Jr. as the Marlins' top official. He spoke briefly Monday to employees.
