Former Los Angeles Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt has asked a judge to order an immediate sale of the team to avert a potential takeover by Major League Baseball, radio station
KGMI-AM reported.
According to the Dodgers website, McCourt submitted a filing on [May 19] to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon, saying that her ex-husband and club owner Frank McCourt had badly mismanaged the franchise since she was fired by him.
Jamie McCourt, whose bitter divorce from Frank last year was presided over by Gordon, wants the Dodgers to be sold by both parties to gain the maximum value from the primary asset of their dissolved marriage.
Gordon ruled in December that the Dodgers were jointly owned by the McCourts.
Gordon tossed out a 2004 post-nuptial agreement that Frank McCourt contended gave him full control of the team, although Frank McCourt’s attorneys vowed to fight on in court.
