Report: Frank McCourt close to agreeing to sell Dodgers

[.infamous]

It looks like Bud Selig may get his wish.

According to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, Frank McCourt “appears close” to an agreement with MLB on a bankruptcy settlement in which he would agree to sell the Dodgers.

We learned last week that the Dodgers’ bankruptcy trial was postponed for a month so that the two sides could explore the possibility of a settlement and sale.

Negotiations are fluid and could break down at any time, but Shaikin writes that the deal would “probably” include Dodger Stadium and the surrounding parking lots. It’s expected that McCourt would have some control over the sale, which could command a record asking price of $1 billion or more.

"The Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League Baseball announced that they have agreed today to a court-supervised process to sell the team and its attendant media rights in a manner designed to realize maximum value for the Dodgers and their owner, Frank McCourt. The Blackstone Group LP will manage the sale process."

I really hope Marc Cuban doesn't buy the Dodgers.. The last thing the MLB needs is the West Coast Yankees.

Well, actually they probably wouldn't mind, I'd just be mad.

Its a good thing that Mccourt is selling this team, he just doesnt have money to keep them viable. Should see some very interesting people bidding for this team.

dont need to sweettalk it.

He's an asshole who's done everything he can to try and hold onto this team despite all the money he took out of the team. He's got no money, and his divorce is taking what's left of what he has. He had no option but to settle with MLB and save what little dignity heh ad left.
