LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt says he will travel to New York to meet with Major League Baseball executives about the recent appointment of a monitor to run the team.
McCourt says in a statement Tuesday that he’ll also discuss the “practical concerns” about the hiring of former Texas Rangers president J. Thomas Schieffer to oversee the daily operation of the franchise. He also talk about a pending television deal with Fox at the Wednesday meeting.
MLB seized control of the Dodgers last week, only days after the Los Angeles Times reported McCourt had arranged a $30 million loan from Fox to meet payroll. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig cited his concern about the team’s finances and operations as the reason for taking control of the Dodgers.
