Off the field, forces who are trying to keep the Twins from moving to another state won a victory after Ramsey County District Judge Margaret Marrinan ruled that Minnesota Attorney General Skip Humphrey can proceed with his investigation of Major League Baseball.

Humphrey is trying to prove whether or not the baseball owners have conspired to force cities to build new stadiums. The judge rejected the argument that the baseball owners do not have to answer Humphrey's questions because of the sport's federal anti-trust exemption. MPR’s sports commentator Jay Weiner has come by the studio to help us sort through the implications of this decision.
