Frank and Jamie McCourt have reached a settlement involving the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to sources close to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times.  The settlement includes Jamie McCourt getting about $130 million and relinquishing any claim to a share of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball club.  The settlement has not been finalized.

The sides had been arguing whether or not Frank McCourt is the sole owner of the team or if the club lies in community property between the two.

Up next for Frank McCourt is a battle with Major League Baseball and commissioner Bud Selig for control of his team.  McCourt took his club into bankruptcy protection in June 2011 and in doing so Selig asked the Court to have the team sold.

After years of divorce hearings, the settlement involving the club will create a clearer path for the team to return to prominence.  The Dodgers have not made the postseason since the 2009 NLCS.
