NEW YORK (AP)—Maybe a “For Sale” sign should be erected outside Dodger Stadium.

Team, ballpark, land and television rights available. Price: $1 billion and up.

The process of finding a new owner for the Los Angeles Dodgers began early Wednesday when current boss Frank McCourt and Major League Baseball released a joint statement saying they had agreed to a court-supervised sale of the once-glamorous and now bankrupt franchise.

Talk about price gouging. No way the Dodgers are worth $1 Billion dollars.

The Dodgers are worth what someone is wiling to pay for them. Not one dollar more or less.

Like I said in the other thread...this is a HUGE win for Selig.

Who says the owners were losing money??!! LMAO! McCourt bought this team for about $430 million dollars... IF it weren't for his financial stupidy and he was selling the because he wanted to sell it....he would almost make three quarters of a BILLION dollar profit!!!

Yowza!!!!

To me, financially, the most mismanaged professional sports franchise I have ever seen.

I give up. Who says MLB owners are losing money?

Ownership. They always have. Always will. That will never change. It's like someone in a divorce always complaing they ain't gettin' enough in the divorce settlement.

Why not?

The property alone is worth a few hundred million

I don't remember hearing much of that in baseball recently, but if that's your thing, you go with it.

I heard some financial analyst on The Heard state it is upwards of $1.5 billion.

This is why a lot of people do not understand why the Dodgers are worth so much.

Unlike other teams, the Dodgers not only own the team, they own the stadium, and the surrounding property. All of this together is worth over a billion dollars.

Move the team to a cheaper place to play and lot out the stadium and land.

Mark Cuban said the other day that he was interested, but that a Billion was TOOO much.

I find it interesting had Selig listened to a Cuban offer of about a Billion .....

Seeing he was not ALLOWED to buy the Cubs when interested ....

That should piss off all Cub fans ...
I would be pissed with Selig if he did that.

Fox broadcasting rights alone are 3 billion for 10 years ($300 million a year in revenue just from local TV, this does not include KCAL broadcast, radio broadcast, tickets, concessions, parking fees, ex). Plus the property alone could be worth more than $1 billion

So at even $2 billion, your getting a deal!

Just because it's worth much more, doesn't mean someone has to offer that much.

If you plan on investing with the property, yes. To keep it as is that would be too high to make a profit

 

[DodgerKing]

Of course. Totally agree. I would offer about $500 million. But the team, property, stadium, and market are easily WORTH over 1 billion
