The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Bidding Begins

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:43:57 +0000

Monday is the targeted deadline for first-round bids for the Los Angeles Dodgers: the century-old team, the stadium and the related assets that, appropriately enough, helped usher in the modern era of big-business televised sports. Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt listens during the unveiling of a new Dodgers baseball field for children in Compton, Los Angeles.

A court-sealed agreement between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League Baseball on the sale of the team, media rights and related asset exists, and bids will definitely be over $1.4 billion and perhaps as high as $2 billion. Frank McCourt was forced to place the team under bankruptcy protection last year, kicking off a courtship that has lured a host of suitors from among sports, media and financial elite.

What is the future of the Los Angeles Dodgers?
