You never know what cheapness has, is, or will occur wiht the Dodgers.

The Dodgers need to load up on players that can either perform or be traded next summer. Franks has a fiduciary responsibility to the marital estate to maintain the value of the community assets, including Beans' quasi-community property interest, in the value of the Dodgers. Beans - please go to Family Law Court and ask the Judge to require Franks to maintain the value of the Dodgers (by putting a similar caliber team om the field as in 2009) until a ruling is made on the ownership and allocation of the Dodger team value.
