McCourts are getting a divorce.

News of divorce itself is a pity. However, as it relates to the team, there is a very real possibility that the team is sold. This could be disastrous or beneficial, depending on the purchaser.
We have learned that large corporations do not run franchises well...Fox and Disney, for example. Personally, I am not a huge fan of the McCourts as owners. They never really endeared themselves to Angelinos. They strike me as carpetbaggers that would rather own the Red Sox. However, I am grateful that they have taken the Dodgers to the playoffs 4 times in 6 years of ownership. They have steered the ship in the right direction.
It would be great to have an Arte Moreno-type owner...stable, understands what fans want and what players want, and committed to spending the cash necessary to field a winner every season. With the McCourts, you never know if this is the year they file BK.
best wishes to the Mccourts as they work through their differences. Sounds like it will be an epic landgrab filled with contention.
I wonder if Mark Cuban wants to buy the Dodgers? I think he would be a great owner, actually.
