LA Dodgers file bankruptcy protection in Delaware
The Los Angeles Dodgers have filed for bankruptcy protection in a Delaware
court.
Dodgers owner Frank McCourt cites Major League Baseball commissioner Bud
Selig's interference with club operations and refusal to approve a Dodgers TV
deal with Fox Sports as the cause for Monday's bankruptcy filing.
In a news release, the team says Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection will
provide the Dodgers with a process to address its immediate financing
requirements and obtain the capital necessary to ensure the baseball
franchise's long-term financial stability.
He says the Dodgers have tried for almost a year to have Selig approve the
Fox transaction, saying it would make the Dodgers one of the strongest
capitalized franchises in Major League Baseball.
