Dodgers owner Frank McCourt dismissed CEO Jamie McCourt this week, according to two published reports. Jamie McCourt's attorney, Dennis Wasser, confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that his client had been terminated, and it would be addressed in court along with other issues. It previously has been reported by local media that the team could be considered community property under California law, with each spouse entitled to 50 percent of all possessions acquired during a marriage.
The couple, married in 1979 and now with four sons, announced last week that they had separated. The Los Angeles Times said Jamie McCourt is gathering investors to persuade her husband and gain control of the club. As the chairman of the club, Frank McCourt holds the highest office in the organization, and he was followed by Jamie as chief executive officer. Frank McCourt was present in Philadelphia when the Dodgers lost the NLCS on Wednesday night. "This group is all very solid, very tight," he said. "We're well aligned, and we'll do what we've done every year. We'll start tomorrow on next season and figure out how to get better and get over the top. Our organization is on a mission to win, and we're going to do it. We're really getting the culture established where our expectation is to win. Everybody is learning what it takes. It takes a huge commitment."
