Major League Baseball takes over the Dodgers baseball team, due to finances. Frank Court's nasty divorce is a contributing factor for the Dodgers finances. The Dodgers are in the red of 459 million dollars. Frank asked "for a loan of 30 million dollars to pay the players and staff members." The mangers and players of the Dodgers stated that "it won't affect them" fans feel that this a positive move. Dodger's stadium is down 11% in sales associated with the stadium attendance.
