Anyways, yesterday the Los Angeles Time reported on a story concerning the financial situation of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The LA Times reported that Dodger owner Frank McCourt had enough money to pay the bills on June 15th but that he may not have enough money to pay for the bills on June 30th. One major reason for the shortfall, is the 8 million owed to Man Ram in deferred money. With the divorce proceedings in a never ending deadlock and the bank account near empty, the Dodgers should probably start considering who the new owner of prestigious franchise will be.
Earlier I mentioned how Mark Cuban's next adventure may be the ownership of the Dodgers. Another visible option is the known partnership between Dodger legends Steve Garvey and Orel Hersheiser. As a Dodger fan I would be excited for an ownership that consisted of kick ass former Dodgers. Yet the same issues concerning the McCourt ownership will arise if the Blue Crew ownership group does not throw in a billionaire into the group. Either way, the countdown toward the end of the McCourt era has begun and after the last two seasons, its a good thing. I like Frank McCourt and he has done good things in Los Angeles (2 straight NLCS appearances), but the reality is that his divorce has ruined him and its time for him to spend more within his means, and the maintenance of a MLB baseball team is not within his means.
