Jamie and Frank McCourt, who are the couple that own and run the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, have recently decided to separate. And according to latimes.com, the couple confirmed their separation in a statement that was released yesterday.
This now raises questions with people in the baseball world, about the Dodgers future and what potential effect their rift will have on their ownership of the franchise. After all, Frank McCourt is the owner and his wife Jamie McCourt is the team’s chief executive.
In a statement that was released by the club late Wednesday, it said that it is a personal matter and Jamie and Frank have requested that their privacy be respected. It also went on to say that neither of them will be making any public statements on the matter.
The timing of the announcement could possibly become a distraction for the Dodgers, who are preparing themselves to begin the National League Championship Series against the defending World Series champion the Philadelphia Phillies today.
