Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said Wednesday that he would appoint someone to oversee all operations of the Los Angeles Dodgers because of his “deep concerns” about the state of the marquee franchise.
The reason for Selig wanting to sell the franchise is because Frank McCourt, LA Dodgers owner, has recently damaged the once renowned franchise for his own benefit. It is reported that McCourt has put the team in well over $400 million in debt, and has had disputes with his wife who he recently divorced. If Selig can obtain 3/4 approval vote from all the owners, then he can sell the team on McCourt's behalf.
I believe that this is the end for McCourt as the team looks to be sold on his behalf very soon. He has damaged the franchise and it's time for a change. Selig, as well as the other owners, will put an end to this chaos.

The center of this controversy is the growing battle over the team's television rights and how owner Frank McCourt planned to spend the money from the deal. It will be one of the richest media deals in sports, and McCourt's plans to use the proceeds for personal reasons played a major role in Selig's decision to take control of the Dodgers.
McCourt needs to figure it out, that is his personal life. So that he may do his responsibility to his organization and the city of L.A. Selig has done right in taking over for the time being.
