If you missed the big news yesterday which was not Pujols related, you would have heard that Bud Selig rejected Frank McCourt and the Dodgers proposed deal with the Fox Network for Broadcast rights. Here is a quick read of Selig's statement:
“Given the magnitude of the transaction, such a diversion of assets would have the effect of mortgaging the future of the franchise to the long-term detriment of the club and its fans,” Selig said in a statement. “We owe it to the legion of loyal Dodger fans to ensure that this club is being operated properly now and will be guided appropriately in the future. This transaction would not accomplish these goals.”
As I tried to understand the magnitude of what was going on in La La Land (and a way the Yankees could possibly steal Andre Ethier in the process), I cam across a few great sites. One of them had an incredible breakdown of the entire Dodgers situation from McCourt's purchase to this latest deal with Fox. If you have 15 minutes, take the time and read the article HERE.
