It's a huge development in the saga of the troubled team. Frank McCourt has been struggling to make the payroll. Interestingly, the creditors include 23 current team members and former Dodger Manny Ramirez, who is owed $20,992,086. Andrew Jones, also a former member, is owed $11,075,000 and current slugger Matt Kemp is owed $216,944.
And legendary announcer Vince Scully is a creditor who is owed $152,778.
The top 40 creditors are owed a total of $74,121,433.
As much as I love seeing the struggles of the Dodgers, my worst nightmare would be for someone like Mark Cuban, who wants to buy a baseball team, come into a sport that has no salary cap... in the same division as my Giants. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens and the Dodgers would compete with the Yankees in payroll.
