MLB yesterday announced it will take over the business and day-to-day operations of the Dodgers, stripping owner Frank McCourt of financial control of the team and representing by far the league’s boldest step to date addressing an ugly divorce and debt-fueled saga with the club that has extended for nearly two years. MLB intends to appoint a designated day-to-day representative for the club in the next few days and continue its investigation of the finances of the Dodgers and McCourt. More immediately, the takeover is designed to return some normalcy to the club and “stop the bleeding,” said a league source. Possible candidates to fill the club representative role, industry execs said, include MLB Exec VP/Administration and CIO John McHale Jr. and former Nationals President Stan Kasten, according to SBJ.
