The problem with the Dodgers isn't their worth as an asset, it's how much of the asset's worth is tied up in debt. Keisser's article is full of fresh takes on the McCourts, the Dodgers, and Bud Selig, including an assertion that Selig has taken advantage of the small market clubs in his battle against the union.

We're in a different era of how we view baseball--any savvy prospective owner will know that selling off the players for pennies on the dollar would be devaluing.Josh Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917981297181251768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510607242317232328.post-48044798698383270262009-12-28T18:50:32.907-08:002009-12-28T18:50:32.907-08:00In response to Chris..

I think being a local group helps, especially with hiring, and having their own people in the Southern California area who have the rolodexes to network for Front office talent and finance.<br /><br /> I think the McCourts have tried, and succeeded better than the expectationsokojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819844445081246051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510607242317232328.post-21375829931708387732009-12-28T17:19:53.708-08:002009-12-28T17:19:53.708-08:00If a sale of the team occurs, do you feel it would...If a sale of the team occurs, do you feel it would be necessary for the new owners to be from the area or do you think a solid ownership group from outside the area could/would make the fans more comfortable than what they currently have with the McCourts?

It is probably going to be more in the $450-$500 million range. The difference between the McCourts holding out for a better price like they try to do with their properties, and the Dodgers sale, will be that MLB will pressure the McCourts to accept a lower price.<br /><br /> IMHO, okojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819844445081246051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510607242317232328.post-89302185548994707272009-12-28T16:08:33.063-08:002009-12-28T16:08:33.063-08:00Sorry about that guys, it's there now.Sorry about that guys, it's there now.Josh Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917981297181251768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510607242317232328.post-72103731550800300632009-12-28T13:12:34.442-08:002009-12-28T13:12:34.442-08:00http://www.presstelegram.com/ci_14075799?source=rs...http://www.presstelegram.com/ci_14075799?source=rss_viewedSteve Steffenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104688163653632284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510607242317232328.post-57981991490408738462009-12-28T13:10:54.303-08:002009-12-28T13:10:54.303-08:00Link?Link?Steve Steffenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104688163653632284noreply@blogger.com
