What a difference a year makes. The Dodgers have gone from the thriftiness
and legal battles of the Frank McCourt era to buying the biggest houses in
Beverly Hills, with no signs of slowing down.
After two years of watching McCourt's ownership spiral downward, the Dodgers
finally began turning the page when he agreed to sell the team via bankruptcy
auction in November 2011. In late March 2012, Guggenheim Baseball Management
won control of the team, beating out bids by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark
Cuban among others.
GBM bid $2.15 billion for the Dodgers, obliterating the U.S. sports record of
$1.1 billion the Miami Dolphins went for in 2009. The group, which is led by
Mark Walter and also includes Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson and
former Braves and Nationals president Stan Kasten, figures to make back its
money with a proposed deal to start a new regional sports network that will
be worth an estimated $6 billion.
Money has been flowing freely since the sale. No longer shackled by McCourt's
financial limitations, the Dodgers most decidedly entered win-now mode.
General manager Ned Colletti went all-out to fortify the big league roster
during the 2012 season, making a pair of blockbuster trades. He picked up
Hanley Ramirez and the $36.5 million remaining on his contract from the
Marlins in late July, then took on $261 million in salary commitments by
acquiring Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez from the Red Sox in
August.
The moves didn't pan out, at least not in 2012. Los Angeles held first place
in the National League West as late as Aug. 19, but went 19-21 the rest of
the way to finish with 86 wins, eight fewer than the Giants. Undaunted, the
Dodgers kept spending.
In early December, Los Angeles signed Korean lefthander Hyun-Jin Ryu for six
years and $36 million and also paid his former team a $25,737,737.33 posting
fee. On the same weekend, the Dodgers made Zack Greinke the second
highest-paid pitcher ever with a six-year, $147 million deal. The club is
poised to open 2013 with a big league payroll north of $210 million.
With Los Angeles locked into veterans up and down the roster, opportunities
for young players look limited in the immediate future. In all, the Dodgers
sent 12 prospects or young big leaguers away in various trades in 2012, with
James Loney the only true veteran shipped out. The list of the departed
included talented righthanders Rubby de la Rosa, Nate Eovaldi, Ethan Martin
and Allen Webster.
Still, the franchise's new wealth should trickle down to benefit player
development. Though new rules prevented Los Angeles from spending freely in
the draft, their $6.3 million in bonuses represented a sizeable increase over
the $3.5 million McCourt authorized in 2011. The Dodgers made a much bigger
splash internationally in June, landing Cuban outfielder Yasiel Puig with a
$42 million big league deal that shocked many clubs who were more skeptical
of his ability.
Puig and 2012 first-round pick Corey Seager now rank as the best hitters in
the system. Despite the departure of several valuable young arms via trades,
the strength of system remains pitching, with seven hurlers ranked among the
top 10 prospects. Ryu headlines an impressive crop of lefthanders that also
features Chris Reed, Onelki Garcia and Paco Rodriguez, all premium picks from
the last two drafts.
