My high school teachers always badgered me about not showing my work, so here it is:
$637,159
X 5
-----------
$3,185,895
That's how much Frank owes Jamie in a lump sum, assuming the payments must date back to the beginning of December (and don't factor in May).
$637,159

$3,185,895
That's how much Frank owes Jamie from May through September, when the litigation is scheduled to conclude.
$3,185,895
X 2
-------------
$6,371,590
That's how much spousal support is going to cost Frank McCourt, owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, from December through the conclusion of the divorce. This figure doesn't include professional fees, estimated to run about $10 million for each divorcing spouse.
It'd sure be a lot easier to accept these kind of numbers if the Dodgers were, you know, good at the moment. They aren't, so you can bet that what it's costing to get through the divorce--never mind the outcome--is going to be a lightning rod for critics of the team's roster construction.

Well, 600 some grand is just over half of what she asked for. As I recall from my SE Asian backpacking travels, sellers ask for TWICE what they expect to settle for. So by this "logic" Jamie's got about what she expected. And we get the leftovers.
ReplyDeleteNow, i bash McCheap as much as the next guy...but this is pretty much the same team as last year minus 1 SP!! They should not be this bad! They play with their head in the clouds, it's up to Torre and the staff to get it together! Now if McCheap doesn't get us our Ace at the deadline, then i will shift to 100% bashing.
