The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
I'm still not convinced this should have a separate article as most of the content is already in Frank & Jamie's articles and the 2011 season article... but in any event I'm not sure the name should be changed and if it is.. maybe
2011 Los Angeles Dodgers ownership dispute or something like that?

Relocation
The article should include proposed cities where the post-bankruptcy Dodgers might move to.
The original suggestion could possibly be construed as pertaining to the article. Maybe. The reply can't. Let's stick to the topic at hand, eh?

No one has suggested that the Dodgers might move... so adding anything on that would be pure speculation, which doesn't belong here.

Re:Tap: My reply clearly is in response to the proposal of the IP...I contend, as Span does, that that is an empty list, as the Dodgers will not move. If my reply isn't pertinent to the article, the original comment isn't pertinent. Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈13:59, 29 June 2011 (UTC)reply
If the IP put anything in the article based on POV without reliable source, that would be pure speculation & grounds for removal. The IP only suggested such an idea. That's a suggestion about the subject of the article, which would seem to be kosher, even if it irritates Dodger fans. Yelling, "The Dodgers ain't gonna move," is POV. Spanneraol's comment is to the point, but the IP still seems within bounds suggesting the idea, as long as no attempt is made to include speculation or POV in the article itself.
If the IP's intention was to irritate Dodger fans, I'd say he succeeded, while obeying the letter of the "law." (And that address is not my sock puppet!) (-;

They probably will not move out of the Greater Los Angeles Area, but one wrinkle in the dispute is that McCourt might still own Dodger Stadium even after MLB formally takes ownership of the team. That may prompt MLB to move the Dodgers to an alternate venue, such as Anaheim Stadium, rather than pay rent to McCourt. Other possibilities include a new stadium somewhere closer to the center of LA. AEG has officially denied being interested in building a baseball park near Staples Center, but who knows - the new football arena could become a multi-purpose park?

I did a Google search. Many articles come up, that're recent, about the Dodgers moving back to Brooklyn. However, I don't personally buy it, so I'm not posting anything. 07:41, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Ban/Suspension/Folding
In this
opinion blog and on this same
article used for the updating of this Wikipedia entry, if MLB's request to the judge passes through without the hitch, the league will suspend the Dodgers, possibly revoke their license, and be forced to fold. In other words, MLB will be left with 29 teams instead of 30.

Yeah...there's so many reasons why that won't happen. For starters, the league HAS to have an even number of teams. For second, if the Dodgers are suspended, they may just come back in 2013. For third, if MLB seizes the Dodgers, they will own them (as they owned the Expos) and run them until a new owner is found Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈16:15, 24 September 2011 (UTC)reply
