But I found this article tonight posted by Bill Shaikin over at the L.A. Times noting that Commissioner Bud Selig and the league are looking at their options to possibly intervene and ask Frank McCourt to either sell the team, settle with estranged-wife Jamie or bring investors from outside the family into the ownership.
Former Commissioner Fay Vincent says such a move could be an "economic risk" despite the league's concerns over the public displays surrounding the divorce and the potential lasting affects to the league and to the team.
The trial is expected to end on September 30th, but the judge has up to 90 days to rule, and with appeals and other legal actions expected, it could take up to three years before all the dust is settled on the franchise's ownership.
My two cents? Just sell, Frank. Put the team up for sale. There's no place in baseball for this mess you and Jamie have created since day one. You've always preached accountability, so be accountable for this mess you've created and for the good of the city, the fans, and the team, sell.
