MLB playing hardball with internet fantasy baseball

Major League Baseball purchased the exclusive rights to run fantasy baseball for the next 5 years from the MLBPA.

Major League Baseball trying to take over ALL internet fantasy baseball

What does this mean to the casual player? I have played a free league on yahoo for a few years. Can yahoo even run fantasy baseball? Does mlb.com think they will run (for a significant cost) all the internet fantasy baseball?

The legal question is can mlb claim to own its statistics - so that you cannot use them for fantasy sports if you chose? Probably not, but it might take an expensive court case to verify that answer.

Can hockey be far behind - if mlb finds this to be a cash cow?
