The settlement between Major League Baseball and Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt didn’t resolve all their differences: Baseball Commissioner Allan “Bud” Selig now wants the league’s $7.6 million in legal bills and costs paid for by the team before it emerges from bankruptcy.
The Dodgers filed for Chapter 11 protection last year. Following a contentious court battle, McCourt and the league agreed on Nov. 2 upon a reorganization plan that called for selling the team through an auction. On March 27, a group of investors led by former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson and Guggenheim Partners bought the team for $2.15 billion. A hearing to approve the sale is scheduled for Friday before U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross of the District of Delaware.
