Dodgers' Arizona Highway No Sure Thing
The Dodgers' move to Arizona is in doubt, according to Tony Jackson.
In a development that made it clear the Dodgers' planned spring-training move to Glendale, Ariz., still isn't a certainty, the club issued a carefully worded statement on Thursday night indicating it is exploring "alternatives" to the move. The statement came almost three months after ground officially was broken on a two-team facility in the Phoenix suburb to be shared by the Dodgers and Chicago White Sox.Glendale, AZ has been slow to provide the "scope of work" document that outlines the exact facilities that will be built. If they continue using Dodgertown, they will be locked into their old lease that has them playing in Vero Beach through 2021, and they could pay a $575,000 fine."The facility-development agreement between the teams and the city of Glendale calls for the parties to develop a `scope of work' that will define the layout, design and construction of this spring-training facility and a firm completion date," the statement read. "While the teams fully expect that scope of work will be completed soon and to everyone's satisfaction, the Dodgers must have an alternative in the unlikely event that the parties are not able to agree on the scope of work."
