Frank McCourt is now blaming his divorce for all of his problems and thinks the takeover of his team by Commissioner Bud Selig is "un-American."
"No one handed me the Dodgers and no one is going to take it away from me," McCourt said in New York. He feels that Selig vetoed a 17-year deal with Fox Networks to create a Dodgers-only network for a US$300-million value.
But MLB didn't take too kindly to McCourt's characterizations of said meeting. Selig sent Rob Manfred to verbally wag a finger at him...
"It is unfortunate that Mr. McCourt felt it necessary to publicize the content of a private meeting," Manfred said in an MLB release. "It is even more unfortunate that Mr. McCourt's public recitation was not accurate. Most fundamental, Commissioner Selig did not 'veto' a proposed transaction. Rather, Mr. McCourt was clearly told that the Commissioner would make no decision on any transaction until after his investigation into the Club and its finances is complete so that he can properly evaluate all of the facts and circumstances."
McCourt feels his property was seized from him...
And he's still in trouble...
