  That has led to speculation that Times CEO Frank Blethen may be selling those newspapers because it's the only way to raise cash to buy out McClatchy's stake.
  ...
  Complicating any deal for the minority stake in the Times company could be Frank Blethen himself.He had a fractious relationship with his former minority partner, Knight Ridder Inc., and that might discourage any new minority partner from jumping in, Morton said.
  
  Morton said that Blethen and McClatchy have a good working relationship since McClatchy bought Knight Ridder two years ago.
  ...
  But Knight Ridder and Blethen often squabbled over finances.

  Seattle Times publisher Frank Blethen calls truce
  
  Frank Blethen wears his passion on his sleeve.Or more accurately his calf, where The Seattle Times publisher famously sports the eagle logo of the newspaper his family controls.
  
  And thanks to an agreement Blethen struck in April with the Hearst Corp., Seattle continues to be a rare bird: a U.S. city with more than one daily newspaper.
  
  The truce ended a four-year legal spat sparked when the Times tried to end its 24-year-old agreement with the Hearst-owned Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which depends on its crosstown rival to sell advertising and deliver the P-I in a joint-operating deal.
  
  Since calling a truce with the P-I, Blethen has stepped up his campaign against corporate media consolidation.Critics say it's a dicey position, since Blethen's move to divorce the Times from the smaller P-I could have consolidated Seattle's daily newspaper business under that eagle banner inked on his leg.
