The Dodgers went bankrupt.
This is a huge development in the saga of the team struggling. Frank McCourt has struggled to make payroll. Interestingly, the creditors include 23 members of the current team and former Dodger Manny Ramirez, who is due $ 20,992,086. Andrew Jones, also a former member, who is due $ 11,075,000 and current hitter Matt Kemp is due $ 216,944.
And animation legend Vince Scully is a creditor is owed $ 152 778.
The top 40 creditors are owed a total of $ 74,121,433.
The trigger for the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing was the decision to kill Selig case 3 billion Fox to broadcast Dodger games.
McCourt was bitter, saying that Selig has "turned its back on Dodgers, treated us differently, and forced us to this point we find ourselves today."
Active documents list Dodger between 500 million and $ 1 billion.
The team will continue to play and all wages are paid, according to McCourt.
