Jamie McCourt Out as Dodger CEO

On December 15, 1968, Dodger general manager Al Campanis traded his son Jim, a catcher, to the Royals. 41 years later, uneasiness at a Dodger family holiday dinner has resurfaced yet again, as the McCourts bitter battle has claimed its first victim.
SI.com is reporting that Dodgers' owner Frank McCourt has fired his estranged wife Jamie as CEO. From Jon Heyman:
Jamie McCourt was fired within the last two days, according to several sources. But this is not likely to be the last she's heard from, as she has said through lawyers that she intends to stake a claim to the franchise, which may be worth a billion dollars, or more.
Bill Shaikin of the LA Times gives us this news:
Jamie McCourt is believed to be lining up investors for a possible effort to buy out her husband and gain sole control of the team. In addition, she is believed to have started calling prominent baseball figures, with the intention of arranging meetings to discuss the direction of the team.
Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports has received confirmation from Jamie McCourt's attorney, Dennis Wasser, that she has been fired. Wasser promised litigation by Jamie McCourt, noting "She will address this ... in the courtroom." That pause is much funnier if read as Triumph The Insult Comic Dog.
This is going to get worse before it gets better. It's hard to imagine a functional organization with dysfunction at the top.

So much for any kind of reasonable settlement to this thing.
Anybody have any billionaire friends that just can’t find enough hobbies?
please dont tell me david beckham is coming to the dodgers
were not that desperate….
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Good riddance.
isn’t the only decision she made was to take the names off the jerseys a while back? Nice move, we are NOT the dumb Yankees!!
That was Frank.
Jamie was behind the WIN network, and getting Dodger Stadium its own zip code (90090)

Well then why did she tell the LATimes it was her idea because she thought it "looked better"?

It did look better
Can’t blame Frank or Jamie for overestimating the intelligence of the average fan.
at blogger night
he said it was Jamie. He was the one trying to find a song that was the “soul” of the Dodgers. aka – Don’t stop believin… He was a cool dude to hear speak.

yeah i remember them doing that doing that in 05
stupid idea
dodgers have always had their players names on the back of their jerseys…

The Dodgers didn’t have names on the back of their jerseys until 1972.

after i typed that comment
i realized somewhere down the line it was not on their jerseys!

I liked that by the way
Giants Yankees Sox traditional franchises still do, we are a proud traditional franchise that of course used to do it, and I had no problem with it…just my 2 cents
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
A billion huh
that’s $200+ million more than the highest valuation estimate I’ve seen.
These two would be wise to work this out. Once the TV revenues start coming in, the value of the franchise will go through the roof.
Dude

It doesn't matter about reported valuations from $700 million to a billion
It is how much financing a group of investors can get, and the terms. The Dodgers are probably worth $500-$600 million without the broadcasting rights, and there are going to be many takers without the broadcasting rights.. I think the Forbes valuation puts too much emphasis on the worth of the media market, it too tangible without the broadcasting rights.
The McCourts have to sell. They still have some pretty big loans from buying the Dodgers in 2004.
Why would there be few takers without the broadcasting rights?
The team was already sold once without the broadcasting rights. And this time you don’t even have to wait as long for those revenues to start being recognized.

how many suckers were in contention for buying the Dodgers in 2003/2004 without the broadcasting rights?
Eli Broad wanted the broadcasting rights, and his offer was rejected without much of a glance by Fox Sports/New Corp.

“i would LOVE to trade Halladay in a deal to get Billingsley plus. that would be awesome for the Jays. IMO over the new 2-3 years Billingsley is going to be better than Halladay, Billingsley is only 25 years old where as Halladay is nearing his mid 30’s.

I know I asked this before in a previous thread and I believe it went unanswered. But in what state did they get married in? Thankfully, I am no expert in divorce yet, other than what I have been through while serving on a jury, but aren’t there different states that have divorce laws that are more favorable to the husband or wife? Would the McCourt’s have to file for divorce in the state they were married in, or in the state they live in? How does that work?? I know I may be jumping ahead as no divorce plans have been made public, but it sure looks like it will head down that path unless calmer heads don’t prevail. Maybe McCourt can take Ng with him to the divorce arbitration hearings. :)

I think their state of residence is the one with jurisdiction.
California is pretty much a 50/50 state.
I’ve read that neither of them is really in a position to buy the other out, but I wonder why they can’t split it 50/50 and then one buys one percent from the other. This would mean that there is a primary owner with a controlling interest and might be doable.
As prosellis said
doesn’t matter where they got married only where they live. I think all 82 Million of their homes are in Los Angeles vicinity.
As Dodger personal leave we will certainly find out who cast with the wrong lot. I’m hoping that Josh Rawitch survives all this, what a pain in the ass his job is going to be this winter.
I don’t see how this can turn out positive for the Dodgers in any way if the team stays in the McCourt family.
McCourt Blows All of his money on $150 Dollar Payroll to Buy WS Win
Just because she is going to get all of the money anyway, so might as well spend it.

Who's going to want the team?
With no T.V. rights for three years and a lot of debt in the forms of deferred money over that time, I can’t figure out who is going to want the franchise.
An investment group
who realizes that buying the team in a “forced liquidation” would be great business. They would probably get a discount on the $700MM valuations and then own the team for only 3 years before seeing the additional revenues come in.
I was convinced it was McCourt’s plan all along to just limp along for a few years until the tv revenues kicked in, then flip the team once the EBITDA valuations were much fatter.

Next Dodger birthday

This soap opera will dominate the winter headlines
and make the Manny drama from last season look like an episode of saved by the bell.

Can it be
the Hot Sunday episode? I love it when the girls are making their music video… “Put your mind to it, go for it! You gotta break a sweat. Rock and roll! You ain’t seen nothing yet.” Then of course, Jessie had to go get addicted to caffeine pills and ruin it all… “I’m so excited… I’m… so… scared, Zack”
Obviously… it’s not going to be the “Zack Attack” episode because they won’t be singing “Friends Forever.” It’s probably going to end up being the prom episode where Kelly leaves Zack for that scoundrel, Jeff.
That’s my worst fear. Remember when she said the Dodgers’ priority should be building inner-city baseball fields and instead of signing free agents? I’m not looking forward to the Jamie Era…

I don’t recall getting 162 games from Manny this year.
You’re absolutely correct. However that’s why I phrased my statement as a season of Manny vs. 162 games from Juan. If he returns next year, I realize that we should expect no more than 120 games or so from Manny (barring injury)

lakers preseason basketball...
lol the nba loves the lakers.. they play PRESEASON on TNT tonight and ESPN tomorrow…
IN THE PRESEASON
What if scenario
So what if Frank lets Ned know that because of the uncertainty of the divorce they will spend no extra money this winter. Ned lets Manny know that next year the team will be going with what got them there and may even be cutting back. What could happen?
1. Manny opts out because at his age he wants to play for a team with resources and signs with Detroit.
2. Juan Pierre is traded with Ned eating $5M per year over the next two years but saving $5M per year at the same time.
3. Hudson, Garland, and Wolf are all allowed to walk.
4. Kuroda and his 13M are traded
5. Sherrill and his 4M are traded
5. Joe Torre retires as he doesn’t want to be involved in such a mess.
6. Tim Wallach becomes new manager
Team rely’s on youth and castoffs more then ever.
Loney, DeJesus, Furcal, DeWitt
Andre, Kemp, (Blake/Paul)
Belliard, Minky, Hoffman, Hu, AJ Ellis
Kershaw, Billingsley, McDonald, Haeger, Elbert
Broxton, Kuo, Belisario, Troncoso, Weaver, Leach, Schlichting
With a Salary about $70M
I would happily cheer for this team and renew my season tickets
I would not, however, be making any trips to Vegas to bet on that team
That is kind of my point
this team would still get my full support even though I know they would not be battling the Phillies in the NLCS.
Well
at least Sherrill would net some pretty good prospects.
Otherwise the only huge loss would be the downgrade from Manny to Xavier Paul.
I still think they could make the playoffs.

Interesting update Eric
Wouldn’t you love to do a Q&A with both of them to find out direction they see for the team. For all we know Jamie might have a better direction then Frank or she might just be the Wicked in Witch.
I wonder too if people in the organization (like Rawitch and his staff, and others) are all split into camps, Frank or Jamie. I hope it doesn’t get to divisive but I figure it will

If he just canned her, its pretty clear who is the boss currently
Who ultimately prevails, hedge your bets.
MLB made a statement last week that Frank had controlling interest in the team
I assume he lined up those ducks before firing his CEO.
I don’t really want to learn much about divorce law, can’t Kim Ng take care of this.
When she gets awarded 50% ownership
she can go back and sue Frank for wrongful termination and get his half too.
its pretty clear who is the boss currently
It certainly is…

I'm actually strangly excited to see how this turns out
but maybe thats because I used to watch reality television
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
That was a 100% expected
for some reason I expect Frank to do a bunch of stupid things and I would not be shocked if Jamie does end up kicking his ass up and down the field. He will go some old friend to be his lawyer, she will get the best lawyer in town. He will listen to bad advice, she will pay for excellent advice.
I completely agree
On a barely related note: if only one of them could run the team, I think I prefer her. Probably for the same reasons we expect her to be smart about dealing with this.
I don't think it matters
It will be split 50/50 by the judge anyway.
She would basically be suing herself anyway (or at least 1/2), I think this is just more about spite and legal positioning. Ultimately the judge will decide who gets what when and where.
I don't think she'll be suing the Dodgers organization.
I imagine she will go after Frank the individual in this case.

Jamie's lawyer
(I don’t remember if this was brought up or not before) is Dennis Wasser. He is a high profile guy who has repped Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, et al in divorce cases.
http://www.lawyers.com/California/Los-Angeles/Dennis-M.-Wasser-148572-a.html
He got his bachelor’s degree at UCLA, then went to law school at USC. What the fuck?
For some reason the UCLA undergrad/USC law thing seems common
A bunch of guys on the UCLA SBN site did it. Even Rick Neuheisel did it.
Frank's lawyer
is Marshall Grossman
http://www.bingham.com/Lawyer.aspx?LawyerID=991
He also did the undergrad at UCLA / law school at USC trick. Again, what the fuck???
Grossman is representing Erin Andrews in her peeping tom case.
Can Eli Broad buy this team?
I know he was one of the guys who initially wanted it, but Bug Selig, that fucking dick, didn’t want another rich guy in a major market so we got stuck with this cash strapped guy.
I hate to be geographically racist
but I’d be more then happy to see these Bostonians go back whence they came. I couldn’t afford the Red Sox so I got the Dodgers has always irritated me, not to mention the hiring of a fucking Giant as our GM.
That's my bias against him from the start
Dodgers were his second choice.
Broad comes in and loves LA so much he donates a load of his money just to help the city become more awesome and he wants to own the team and he has billions as it is so he’s not going to be cash poor.
Meh.
Selig is a dick. Apparently it’s okay for East Coast to have rich owners, but not us.
I wonder if he would still be interested…

A smart business man or woman
Would never buy the Dodgers, your revenue streams are basically, ticket sales, corporate sponsors (ads) and far below that, local media.
After Last Week
I think I am more keen to see a messy bloody divorce fight than to watch baseball.
But give it a week.
Actually
I think this appears to be heading to civil court before family law court. Right now, both are preparing to try and find whether a pre-existing agreement (which I assume Frank has) will circumvent any community property rights while just because she has community property rights, if Frank can find someone to buy her out, does she have to accept?
The problem is that any new owner Frank brings in is going to want to run the Dodgers as well.
I find it unlikely that Frank McCourt is going to find a silent partner. With the amount of debt he has? He’s not in a position to say that he’s the only that will be sole controller of the team.
Oh and Eric
Lots and lots of lawyers do the UCLA/USC thing, in both directions, undergrad/law school.

Really
I’ll say this, generally, most folks don’t have a real connection to their law school, I mean they liked it there but it is just a lot of work. They had more fun in undegrad so if they support anything, that’s where their support goes.

You know your season is over when you start getting emails from ticketmaster saying your money is being returned to you.

I had 10 tickets go unused this postseason. The damn sweep of the Cardinals and the damn sweep of the Dodgers at home by the Phillies. Good God we had home field and couldn’t even bring it home for a game six. When will I ever learn not to try for the knockout but go for the first game when working with the Dodgers. They aren’t the Lakers for crying out loud.
I did
I need to find out what time the UCLA v. Washington game is that day (don’t laugh Eric), if its a night game, I won’t be able to go, hopefully we’ll know by next Monday
Is Ticketmaster getting the money to you any faster than the Dodgers are?
6-8 weeks was my wait time from the Dodgers ticket agent.
I usually just roll it over
but I don’t think the prices are going to be nearly as friendly this year. I might have to adjust the number of seats or the section I’m in.
Yup
no guarantee’s this year about the prices staying the same if you re-upped in Sept. I’m fairly certain I’m out since my partner already bailed.
Just read the update:
“It’s hard to imagine a functional organization with dysfunction at the top.”
Are you having a hard time imagining a “functional organization” because its been 12+ years since the Dodger’s had one? :)

My rep never got back to me with the code I needed for the Monday sale.
Jamie can't become the owner, but she can cause trouble
When the McCourts bought the team, they filed docs with MLB that only listed Frank as sole owner. Jamie would have to be approved by MLB before she could become the owner, and MLB has no reason to allow that.
The problem is, Frank’s gonna have to come up with a bunch of cash to pay her off. He could offer her other assets, but most of his empire is real estate which she isn’t going to want because values are down and cash flow is down.
If Frank manages to keep the team, we may be looking at two or three years with no money to spend on improvements.
Next year’s team will be put together like this year’s team. Maybe different faces, but the same types of guys in the same types of roles.
The new name is currently in escrow while the courts decide which McCourt will be given custody of it

A Quick Note
Hey gang, you guys probably remember me as “that troll guy” from the past week who kept getting banned. Well, in my time since being banned the last time, I’ve been reading your comments and posts as you guys suffered through a pretty awful end to your season. What I read surprised me. For one thing, there are actually baseball fans in LA (who knew?), but more importantly how well (and genuinely pained sounding) you as a whole responded to being bounced. You congratulated the other team. Some of you actually wished the Phillies luck. Some of you even called out TBS for being biased for your own team (violating the time-honored tradition of each team calling the national broadcasters biased for the other team, and ripping a whole in space time). But it was the post by the mods that got me. Seeing the fellows who run this blog suffer so much (and openly call out their fans) made me feel like Brett Myers going in for a drunken, cigar-tainted kiss. You see, I couldn’t (and don’t) see any of those things in the blogs that follow my teams. We won the series, but I think you guys won the war. Toosh.
I hereby hang up my trolling hat.

Neds new role???
I found it strange that the length of Ned’s new contract is a secret. Does anyone think there may be some kind of agreement in place having to do with Ned getting a promotion and perhaps Kim or Logan taking over GM duties?
Or perhaps the opposite is true and Ned knew there would be a lot of changes taking place and asked for a short contract that would let him get out of town when the crap hits the fan.
Good questions
Ned is going to answering questions today at 2:00 at Dodger Stadium. Maybe we will have some clarity at that point. Joe Torrie will be answering questions at 1:30. I can’t make it so we will have to rely on the Dylan and so forth to ask some good questions.
