May it Please the McCourt

by Jessica Polko

On January 29th, Major League Baseball owners voted to approve Fox Entertainment Group's sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers to Frank and Jamie McCourt, married Boston real estate developers. The McCourts purchased the franchise, Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers' Dominican Republic baseball academy, and the lease on the Dodgers' Spring Training complex in Vero Beach, Florida for a total of $430M, the most ever paid for a Major League organization. Two hundred five million dollars of the funds paying for the purchase come in the form of a loan from Fox.
