many of us know that he "shopped" the team. over a decade ago before the city gave him land & he built a new stadium.
and "estate issues" means his family funding isn't what it used to be
as long as someone with not only business savvy but baseball love buys the team from Frank I wouldn't shed a tear. Franks a nice guy. But he gets credit for being this genius of a marketing guy and he's average at best.
He runs a decent ship down there but he's not nearly the "genius" some think he is & the overall service of the day-to-day operations are pathetic.

I wish we could get someone from this town -- and loyal to this town -- to own the Looks. Hmmm, someone from this town who is loyal to this town, baseball background, businessman... Rick Honeycutt maybe? |

He doesn't have the cash, could line-up some investors I believe he's still a pitching coach for the Dodgers. I know they don't make active player money, but his income from that combined with the income from his other business ventures could help him secure a business loan. But yeah, he'd have to be part of a larger investment group. |
