It raises an interesting legal question: any advertising dollars they spend would have to be for the good of the organization. It's hard to find a connection between that and the trade of a ballplayer.
Could be they are going to spend advertising dollars in other places. I didn't really see that in the story. They got some free pr for doing this too. Of course, a lot of Bob Nutting fans may say, I'm going to go to a different medical center.
