There was, of course, one very important unanswered question in the wake of last week’s announcement of Liberty Mutual’s planned acquisition of Safeco. That question has been answered. Seen in Insurance Journal:
A Safeco Corp. spokesman says the Seattle Mariners’ home field will continue to be called Safeco Field, despite Liberty Mutual Group’s agreement to buy Seattle-based Safeco.
Whew! That’s a relief.
Although, considering how the Mariners’ season has started, maybe Washington state regulators ought to push for a charitable contribution from Liberty to the Mariners as a condition for approving the deal.
