According to Bill Shakin of the Los Angeles Times, Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, has rejected the proposed television contract between the Dodgers and FOX.

This decision invalidates the divorce settlement between Frank McCourt and Jamie McCourt. Selig rejected the contract on the first business day after the McCourts announced a settlement contingent upon approval of that contract adds Shakin.

If McCourt cannot make the Dodgers’ June 30 payroll, Selig could seize the team and put it up for sale. McCourt said Friday he could meet that payroll, but a person familiar with his finances said he had “no chance” without the television money says Shakin.
