As the drama surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers and Frank McCourt continue, Bud Selig insists that Major League Baseball did nothing wrong when allowing NewsCorp to sell the team to McCourt.
At his annual All-Star Game media session on Tuesday, Selig said once Fox sold the team to McCourt, the deal passed through the executive committee and all 30 baseball teams, saying that everyone looked at the deal and approved it, according to ESPN.com.
"Seven or eight years ago, we had a highly complicated ownership situation, even more complicated than we have now," Selig said. "When Fox sold the club to Frank McCourt — and remember, we didn't sell the club, Fox did — first, it went to [Fox], then it went to the executive committee, and then it went to all 30 clubs. All the information is shared with all of those people, and everyone looked at it."
The MLB has been contemplating taking over the Los Angeles franchise, and the team filed for bankruptcy on June 27.
