Bud Selig Rejects Dodgers TV Deal With Fox

PrintRemember that television contract that was to save the Dodgers current financial woes under Frank McCourt, thanks to an infusion of upfront cash of the multi-billion dollar deal? The TV deal that needed to be approved for both (a) the Dodgers to reportedly to be able to make payroll on June 30; and (b) the divorce settlement between Frank and Jamie McCourt to be valid? Yeah, that's not going to happen.
MLB commissioner Bud Selig rejected the Dodgers' transaction with Fox (MLB values the deal at $1.7 billion, per Bill Shaikin of the LA Times). Selig issued the following statement on Monday:
"Pursuant to my authority as Commissioner, I have informed Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt today in a detailed letter that I cannot approve the club's proposed transaction with FOX. This decision was reached after a full and careful consideration of the terms of the proposed transaction and the club's current circumstances. It is my conclusion that this proposed transaction with FOX would not be in the best interests of the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise, the game of Baseball and the millions of loyal fans of this historic club.
"Mr. McCourt has been provided with an expansive analysis of my reasons for rejecting this proposed transaction. Critically, the transaction is structured to facilitate the further diversion of Dodgers assets for the personal needs of Mr. McCourt. Given the magnitude of the transaction, such a diversion of assets would have the effect of mortgaging the future of the franchise to the long-term detriment of the club and its fans.
"As I have said before, we owe it to the legion of loyal Dodger fans to ensure that this club is being operated properly now and will be guided appropriately in the future. This transaction would not accomplish these goals."
Now we sit back and wait for the inevitable lawsuits to start flying and, perhaps as soon as next Thursday, MLB taking over should the Dodgers not be able to make payroll.

Can't say I'm surprised
Would be nice to know exactly what the terms of the deal were, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least that they involved a lot of leveraging of the future to save Frank’s ass today. Under those terms, and given that in theory Bud does have that power, I can’t say I blame him for blocking it.
Still, I suspect all this does is bring the story somewhere to the middle, as opposed to the ending.
it does mean things are finally coming to a head
everyone is finally putting their cards on the table

A lot of it has been spelled out
via Frank’s TV/radio tour, the divorce settlement document, and Shaikin reports, but my understanding is this…
Deal with Fox is between 14-17 years, and takes effect next year (tearing up the final two years of current deal), worth $1.7 billion, or potentially up o $3 billion depending on the value of owning part of Prime Ticket.
Fox was to pay $385 million up front, but as Shakin noted, court docs showed that up to $173.5 million of that dealt with McCourt stuff rather than Dodger stuff, which is why Selig denied the deal (among many reasons, per his statement above).

Things got a little better today. We all pretty much figured MLB would nix the TV deal, but with that out of the way, Frank is running out of options.

MLB should had never approved the McCourts in the first place..
It is not like there weren’t warning signs from the very beginning. Many Sports executives and agents said the business plan was unworkable, or the McCourt would have to sell in 4-5 years. MLB approved of it, because News Corp/Fox wanted the deal to go through.
In many ways the person to receive the most blame for Bud Selig’s problems with Frank McCourt, is… Bud Selig.
They should had never ever agreed to McCourt in taking over any MLB club, especially after McCourt handled his financing to buy the Red Sox, (which was also not very feasible)
Many Sports executives and agents

LAT'd
I thought I had read that the Commissioner’s powers include the approval of sales/deals that involve all property and assets related to the club, which would include the parking lots et al. Meaning Frank couldn’t become landlord and the sale would have to include all Dodgers assets.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
If it doesn't Selig is a fucking moron
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
That I wasn't aware of
But I do remember it being said that one of the first things Frank did was break up the team from the stadium and land, and Bud approved it.
Frank would still have to sell the stadium and parking lots
Jamie, technically and legally owns half of those "companies" as well, besides, the Stadium and parking lots are completely put up in hock for bank and private placement loans.
Frank probably couldn’t be a landlord, because he couldn’t afford it, MLB probably could force him to sell, and if he doesn’t, then the family law court or bankruptcy court would force him..
Yay for denying more free spending
Frank’s next move is to sue MLB for the right to free enterprise and for his insatiable wanton need towards the destruction of a baseball staple. Selig must then fight to undo the irresponsible endorsement of Frank to own the team in the first place. I think that with the unanimous support from the rest of the owner’s Selig might just get his way and force a sale. Fingers crossed.
he just has to wait
until next thursday, when McCourt misses the payroll.

I'ts been like a soap opera.
Lots of drama this year without the pretty starlets. Just the owner and his huge ego.
It keeps sounds like a period to me
He keeps hoping to get it, we keep hoping he misses it
/being a girl sucks
No
I will maintain until proven wrong that a new owner would operate very similar to McCourt except he would make more money and possibly fix up Dodger Stadium.
Hide your affairs.
Remember people hide your double-dealings so as to not enrage those who you McGrift.
It depends...
If it is a Dan Snyder type of owner, who thinks they poop gold, and everything out of their mouths is sheer genius, yes it will be the same.. If it is a management group with some experience running a professional sports team, whether major league or minor league team. There should be some competency, and putting competent people in positions for a couple years, instead of setting up a kangaroo court as the McCourts did, with a huge amount of Front Office turnover.
The McCourts hired some competent people, they just couldn’t follow their advice, or they couldn’t deal with people who weren’t obsequious. They fired people only a short time on the job.
I think if Dan Snyder were a baseball owner, that team would win titles. He thinks you can build a champion with superstars making up 2/58 of your roster, whereas in baseball he can probably fix problems by signing guys.

I’ve been saying this for ~18 months. Assuming the mony is there, if Kemp and Dre don’t get extended, I expect them to make a final push with them. We won’t get Fielder or Reyes (I can’t imagine we make a huge FA splash if we don’t extend Kemp/Dre) but I could see Aramis, Beltran, and Pena getting 1-2 year deals.

Considering that
the Dodgers will probably have their lowest season ticket renewal in history and that MLB will be hesitant to approve a new TV deal until after 2013, the team’s revenue stream will be the lowest in years.
Who is going to pony up long term deals without any guarantee that they will make money until 2014 season.
MLB will be hesitant to approve a new TV deal until after 2013
Why?
It seems the main issue with the currently negotiated deal was the upfront money, and that much of it was going to McCourt and not the Dodgers. MLB would easily approve a TV deal that called for more money than the ~$76 million over the next two years from the current Fox deal, as long as it was a normal deal and not an “I need cash now” deal.
by Eric Stephen on Jun 20, 2011 2:58 PM PDT up reply actions
Agreed, Eric, my impression was that FOX wasn’t insistent on this deal, and so will be willing to negotiate with whomever they have to, whenever they have to.
Plus I’m guessing the real issue with the TV deal goes back to Frank’s swirl through New York on April 27:
McCourt said he would invest that $300 million into the team and said he had signed an agreement that none of that money would be used to settle his divorce or for any other personal purpose.—Shaikin
Whatever that agreement was, and I assume it was with MLB, he’s now in violation of it.

Why can't Frank
ask MLB to structure the deal in such a way that they would approve it. My inkling is that Selig won’t approve ANY tv deal for the Dodgers as long as McCourt is the owner. If I were McCourt I’d ask MLB to join the Fox negotiations such that the deal gets structured such that the MLB approves of it.
Well, we don’t know what Selig sent to Frank, but I’m sure the deal points that Selig objected to were highlighted in detail.
by Eric Stephen on Jun 20, 2011 3:42 PM PDT up reply actions
right, but it seems like if you are Frank and are worried about MLB taking over your team, you have someone from MLB (representing Bud) on your negotiating team. Therefore, you don’t come up with a deal that Bud can shoot down – and you can call him on the carpet for being pre-determined to take over the team by forcing McCourt to miss payroll.
Frank also should have thought about that when going on his media whirlwind in May (or was it April?) saying “all of the upfront money will be poured into the Dodgers” when that clearly wasn’t the case.
None of the objectionable points in the deal, at least on the surface (aside from the issue of negotiating from a point of weakness; the “I need money now” problem), seem like deal breakers from a Fox standpoint.

Bills for Ogando
Was thinking about this the other day — Dodgers are giving up a proven, if sometimes erratic, starter on a long deal for a much less proven but relatively high ceiling arm. They’re about the same age. If management thinks Chad needs a change of scenery, could this be a fair deal?
Ogando is older, has worse perhiperals and a .230 BABIP.

From the soul crushing part of a PR department's job
Here is a statement from Steve Susman, attorney for Frank:
"We are extremely disappointed with the Commissioner’s rejection of the proposed FOX transaction which would inject $235 million into the Los Angeles Dodgers. As Commissioner Selig well knows, this transaction would make the Dodgers financially secure for the long term and one of the best capitalized teams in Major League Baseball.
"For weeks Major League Baseball has consistently made public pronouncements asserting that Jamie McCourt’s agreement of the Fox transaction also was needed; that the Court adjudicating the McCourt divorce grant its approval of the transaction; and the Dodger organization provide all data requested by Major League Baseball to satisfy the so-called investigation ordered by Commissioner Selig last April – the latter also being the excuse he gave at that time for delaying his approval of the proposed FOX transaction.
"All the requirements for the Commissioner to approve the FOX transaction were put in place by last Friday: Frank and Jamie McCourt entered into an agreement based on the proposed transaction; the Court ordered, among other things, that the FOX transaction is "in the best interest of the Los Angeles Dodgers and should be consummated immediately;" and all information requested by Major League Baseball under its so-called investigation has been provided by the Dodgers.
"Commissioner Selig’s letter of rejection is not only a disappointment, but worse, is potentially destructive to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Major League Baseball. Accordingly, we plan to explore vigorously our options and remedies with respect to Commissioner Selig’s rejection of the proposed FOX transaction and our commitment to protect the long-term best interests of the Los Angeles Dodgers."
Does that mean
Vin would be replaced by Rhonda Shear?
why hasn't frank explored taking on a minority owner ala the Mets?

the only way he gets one would be for that person to have the right to buy him out in a certain number of years.

It’s like waiting to asses a head-on collision accident with a bullet train. When Frank steps aside it’s time to pick up the pieces. We have a Frankenstein of a line-up with has-beens and never-were.

No
The problem with taking on a minority owner is that first is has to be clear who is the owner: i.e. are the Dodgers owned by Frank alone, or by Frank and Jamie. Until that’s decided, he/they can’t sell part of the team to aminority owner. And that (Aug. 4) was contingent on Selig approving the FOX deal. No go.
