[gobears1987]

If the Angels can get $150 MM a year for broadcasting, how much can the Dodgers fetch? That's the real story behind this massive bid.

Another completely leveraged sale?

Fox Sports deal could be worth three times what the Dodgers’ new owners paid for the team and almost 20 times the value of the Dodgers’ current television contract.

This is why they can afford to take on all of those contracts. Hell, I think if Crawford returns to 70% form, they've won the deal. I think Gonzalez will be fine and return to his career slants. His homers may stay flat, but the doubles will rise.
