A few brief updates...

... Just to keep things moving here, while I'm doing some prep work on deeper dives into some of the more relevant candidates and issues.
  • Tony Jackson of ESPN gives a good, albeit high-level description of the sale process for the Dodgers franchise - essentially, Selig will get to thin the herd of bidders before giving McCourt exclusive right to final approval of the purchasing party.
  • LA Times' Bill Shaikin answers Ron's question, noting that Peter Ueberroth isn't going to bite at the Dodgers' apple again this time. And yesterday, follows it up with a nice summary of potential bidders, featuring a lot of names that seem, frankly, more outlandish than McCourt somehow keeping the team for himself.
  • Dennis Gilbert's people leaked that he's building his team, only to have his two biggest alleged backers deny the story altogether.  Just goes to show that Gilbert is definitely interested, which has to make ChiSox fans a bit grumpy.
