It's at least a possibility, reports Bloomberg News. Fox, which is part of the News Corp. empire, is expected to compare the price of renewing its current TV contract with the cost of buying the team, reports Bloomberg, citing a source. This isn't likely to sit well with Dodger fans, considering that News Corp.'s decision to sell the team in 2004 brought with it the Frank McCourt era. Actually, Fox was so desperate to unload the ball club that it helped arrange financing for McCourt. Given that history, I'm betting Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig will do everything humanly possible to avoid another Fox ownership.
