Sources: Disney's Bob Iger A Favorite To Replace MLB's Bud Selig

Sources said that Disney Chair & CEO Bob Iger is "firmly" in MLB's "potential lineup of new commissioner candidates." Iger is reportedly a "favorite of the league’s succession committee" as it looks to replace the retiring Bud Selig. But one "sticking point" is Iger's "contract with Disney lasts until the middle of 2016." A source said, "No official talks have taken place. He definitely hasn’t been offered the job – yet. ... Perhaps they will keep the post open for him, or maybe Bud might agree to stay on. It’s too early to say" (N.Y. POST, 5/22).
