Last week, a bankruptcy court approved the sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers for $2 billion. This sale marks the end of their Chapter 11 reorganization process, which began in the summer of 2011. Frank McCourt, the former owner of the team, was allegedly deemed no longer competent to manage the financial affairs of the Dodgers. Because of this, Major League Baseball took over the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 20, 2011. Though the team was in a tough spot financially, a television contract offer was rejected in June; right after the contract fell through, the Dodgers filed for bankruptcy. The $2 billion price tag marks the highest price ever paid for a North American sports team and is likely higher than the actual current worth of the franchise.
