Nowhere did they mention http://www.baseball.com/, the website I would have guessed was referred to by the title before I read the article.
Fun Fact: I bought a domain name for a reasonable price off a patent troll company. Was actually one of the easier and most surprising transactions I ever did.
They have quite a few domains like this and they aren't interested in selling at all. And as frustrating as that is, it is much better than other squatters in the space who try to treat the domains they have as farmland to be worked and leased off to companies for temporary use. Its the system we have, and it is what it is. In a lot of ways it is disappointing how closely it mirrors physical land use and ownership.
I guess this is a recurring problem for them. Not sure why.
The whole operation to secure team domains has been so stealth I learned in that article that MLBAM was able to finally secure my favorite team's domain earlier this year, Rangers.com. All the ads at the ballpark still refer to their old domain, texasrangers.com.
