An attorney representing Dodgers owner Frank McCourt says that Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig hasn't acted in good faith by rejecting a proposed television deal involving the franchise.
A day after Selig announced he wouldn't approve a Dodgers television deal with Fox Sports -- reportedly worth up to $3 billion -- lawyer Robert Sacks questioned the commissioner's intentions and warned that any potential takeover of the team by Major League Baseball would be met with resistance.
"There seems to be a predetermined result to drive Frank out of baseball without a good faith basis," Sacks said. "This isn't going to go away quietly."
McCourt hoped Selig would sign off on the transaction that would have provided him with $385 million up front and was vital to a binding settlement reached between him and his ex-wife and former Dodger CEO Jamie McCourt last week.
He now faces the potential of missing a June 30 team payroll without the TV funds and that could lead to a MLB takeover.
