The Los Angeles Dodgers insist they are under no orders from Major League Baseball to curtail debt, despite a report that indicated otherwise this past weekend.

A report in the Los Angeles Times on Saturday revealed through an unnamed source that the Dodgers are "hundreds of millions" of dollars in debt after the first four seasons under Guggenheim Baseball Management and that MLB was putting pressure on the club to meet debt rules.

"There is no mandate," Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said. "There is no problem with our debt, and we continue to work on the same program we have been working on from the day we walked in here in 2012, which is to say we're working hard to build the best team we can for this year while being mindful of continuing to build the best pipeline of minor leaguers to the major leagues that we can."
