Moving to block owner Frank McCourt’s plan to rescue the Los Angeles Dodgers from insolvency by auctioning off the rights to broadcast the team’s games, Fox Sports is suing the beleaguered Major League Baseball franchise, according to the Los Angeles Times.
In its suit—filed late Tuesday in federal bankruptcy court in Delaware by lawyers from Rutter Hobbs & Davidoff and Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell—Fox Sports Net West seeks a court order blocking any sale of Dodgers’ TV rights that infringes on the network’s existing contract with the team.
