Frankly, I Don't Like Any Of It
The Times tells us that Frank looks to press his luck with MLB by heaping on yet another $100M worth of mortgage to Dodger Stadium. Reports that the Dodgers will have a $100M payroll this year are apparently contingent... aw, hell, I just made that up; as Jon points out, it could be good because some of that will be used toward getting out from under Fox's thumb, but bad because who knows how tenuous his financial picture is.
The club also signed Ricky Ledee -- and I am not making that up. It just doesn't feel too good. $2.5M? Way too much.

In other news:
DePodesta said arbitration would be offered to fewer than half of the 12 Dodger free agents today. The team relinquishes negotiating rights to any free agent who is not offered arbitration.The only player DePodesta says he is undecided on is pitcher Jose Lima, who was 13-5 last season and shut out the St. Louis Cardinals in the playoffs. DePodesta said that the recent revelation that Lima was infected with herpes all season would not be a factor in re-signing him.
Arbitration will be offered to third baseman Adrian Beltre. Certain to be left off the list are catchers Todd Hundley and Brent Mayne, infielder Jose Hernandez and pitchers Hideo Nomo, Paul Shuey and Elmer Dessens. First baseman Robin Ventura has retired.
