I posted this on the gameday thread as well, looks like a pretty severe hand slap by MLB. Per CNNSI:
The Cubs were said by people familiar with the case to have exacerbated the situation by how they responded to MLB's concerns. MLB higherups apparently didn't believe Cubs people were completely forthcoming regarding their actions in the case when questioned about them.

Mr. Rogers says
that MLB/Selig aren’t happy with the Cubs, in general. Thought they’d be sold by now.

wow, that attitude is just dripping with irony
considering MLB had the interim tag hung on Selig for how many years? MLB is a tool and Selig is the chief tool.
Sorry Hammer, no offense intended…
