PLAYERS: Clayton Kershaw
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers

Former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt may have been driven out of baseball but his dream lives on. The Dodgers new TV deal should make it easy to pay the contracts of Clayton Kershaw (left) and Matt Kemp. McCourt had always wanted to take a page from Yankees owner George Steinbrenner’s playbook and start the Dodgers own network. In 1999, Steinbrenner created the YES network and made it the exclusive home of local Yankee broadcasts. McCourt’s dream may have become reality without him.

We figured Don Mattingly would be managing for a contract in 2013 and now it’s all but official

Via ChadMoriyama.com  |  January 23, 2013
Dodgers fans have assumed for a while now that 2013 would determine how much longer Don Mattingly would be with the club (maybe Ned Colletti as well), and now that’s all but official. Last fall, Mattingly politely asked the club to exercise its one-year option before this final year of his contract. The Dodgers politely refused. He will thus begin the summer as a lame duck, except...
