frank-mccourt-fires-jamie-mccourtJust when you thought the baseball offseason was going to be all about Matt Holliday, Jason Bay, John Lackey, and Rod Barajas … husband fires wife, all hell breaks out. “While Frank McCourt is pressing ahead with the business of the team, including Tuesday’s announcement of a long-term contract extension for General Manager Ned Colletti, Jamie McCourt is believed to be lining up investors for a possible effort to buy her husband out and gain sole control of the team. In addition, she was believed to have started calling prominent baseball figures, with the intention of arranging meetings to discuss the direction of the team.” Egg-cellent. [LA Times]
