Dodgers owner McCourt speaks out on divorce, team
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt is speaking out about his divorce and the seizure of the team last week by Major League Baseball.
Giving a rare lengthy interview Friday with KCAL-TV, McCourt says he is talking publicly after remaining mostly silent through his divorce and the battle over team ownership because his sons have released him from a promise to keep the family fight private.
McCourt says a proposed $30 million loan from Fox is a "great deal" that will solve the Dodgers' financial problems, but baseball has been too slow to approve it.

McCourt says the deal did not need approval from his ex-wife, Jamie, because "I am allowed to run this business."
