They can still get something for him, and I don't think his value has changed much since the deadline.

But yeah, we never should have been buyers.

The current value of the Dodgers is relevant to the merits of an agreement signed six years ago, Jamie McCourt argued in court papers filed Wednesday.

Three of the six versions of the agreement, which is at the heart of a divorce trial set to start Monday, specify that Frank McCourt is the sole owner of the Dodgers and Jamie McCourt is the sole owner of the couple's residential properties.

Frank had previously asked the court to forbid discussion of the current worth of the team or the homes. Jamie said such evidence is necessary for the court to grasp what she says would be the "extraordinary injustice" that would result from enforcing the agreement.

"If that agreement is upheld, after a 30-year marriage, Frank would end up with assets worth in excess of $1 billion, whereas Jamie would be left with assets worth approximately $70 million, which are saddled with debt that she cannot maintain," Jamie's lawyers wrote in Wednesday's filing.

Frank had argued that any such discrepancy is not relevant in determining the validity of the agreement.

"The [agreement] would not have been invalid if Frank had failed miserably and lost his entire fortune," his lawyers wrote. "Likewise, Frank's success in turning around the Dodgers has no effect on the validity of the [agreement]."

There are no active settlement discussions, sources on both sides said Wednesday, and the expectation on both sides is that the case will go to trial.

If we offer arbitration, his salary would be high and the chance of him taking it is high as well.

That being said, I doubt we would get anything, might as well hold on to him.

It will signal the end of the season to the common fan (It's been over for those that actually follow the team), and the Dodgers don't want to lose the revenue that the common fan brings to the Ravine.

Whoa, did you just post that just now, or did Yuku do you the favor 2 days later?

I use different computers.  This one was on my work desktop that I didn't use for 2 days.  I guess after I hit post reply, it gave the dreaded blank page.  So when I saw that page I just refreshed, so it posted the same info again.  I went out and about, saw that page again, hit refresh and it reposted.

!@@! YOUKU!

Happens to me all the time.    

Ned will find a way, I just feel it.  (In a bad way)

Oh and IYN, NOW I can see how you don't go in Laker threads.  I am officially taking the same path as you.  I'm done with some of the morons in there.
 
I see the nickle and dime mentality has already trickled down to the fan base

I really don't see the point in trading Manny at this point.

They will not get any prospects that will make a significant impact, however they will save money.  (Am I the only one that doesn't give a ++*+ if Frank saves a couple of bucks by trading Manny).  Seems like every blog wants Manny gone simply to get rid of his salary, what the hell are we the Pirates of the NL West.

Quite simply, the answer is YES.

Nevermind the revenue and XYZ, if the owner doesn't put in, then that money doesn't exist for us.
 
Well to be fair, Manny isn't coming back next year correct? Manny gets that extension, then maybe something valuable gets sent our way?

I mean, the best case scenario would be the WhiteSox take over all of Manny's salary and the deferred portion. 

But then again, it's Ned Colletti.

A lot of this is at stake this weekend, so this weekend will be the deciding factor.
 
Manny isn't getting an extension from the Dodgers or the White Sox.  It will kill any deal.  The Dodgers will not offer arbitration either.  The White Sox know that, and I doubt they will pick up the deferred portion either. 

The White Sox want him for cheap, they will pick up his remaining salary which I believe is a little south of $1.5 million.  The deferred portion will still be on our books (Andruw Jones and Juan Pierre are currently rocking White Sox uni's while getting paid by the Dodgers *facepalm*).  Imagine a picture of  Jones, Pierre and Manny in the OF in White Sox uniforms... "Colletti's Follie's"..."Colletti's Island"... "Colletti: The Real L Word".

Just keep him, not as if they will trade Manny, save money and lower concession, beer, parking and ticket prices.  There is no benefit for the fans or the team.  Just Frank's empty bank account. 
 
dont give 2****s if mccourt saves a couple mil. its not like parking and beer is going to go down for the remainder of the season because they saved some cash.
