Entire roster excited about new ownership of Los Angeles Dodgers – MLB News
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ entire roster is quite happy about the new ownership and stating this development as positive step forward for the entire management. Outfielder Tony Gwynn was the first Dodgers’ player who came out in the media and praised Magic Johnson and his group for agreeing to purchase this bankrupt South Los Angeles baseball franchise.
"I'm pumped," Gwynn said. "I'm only pumped because I'm the biggest Lakers fan. I grew up a huge Magic Johnson fan. The big basketball guys were all pulling for Magic; I'll probably have a basketball in hand,”
Later outfielder Matt Kemp also admired the fact as the Dodgers will do well under the guidance of some of the best experienced businessmen. The Dodgers have filed bankruptcy since the 2010 season was ended, while now, sitting in a comfortable place where the new management will run the affairs of business with total care.
The Dodgers’ players are also happy because they know from the past two years their team has not done well which is directly linked to the poor financial position of the franchise. While after the sale of the Dodgers, the new management has big plans to invest in it.
“When you look at what he's been able to accomplish, you wonder how one person could do it all," Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti said. “When you think about Stan, when you think about Magic, you think of guys that have won a lot, I think, generally speaking, we need to upgrade our presence in Latin America from a signing standpoint,"
Colletti knew before the 2011 season, which was ended on a bitter humiliation as they lately had to do something to fix the financial problem. In the meanwhile the things went in favour of the Dodgers’ franchise as soon as the bidding process was started. Frank McCourt on the other hand also played his part and found some of the very strong investors. However, the Dodgers’ sale has been completed now and they wanted to go in the next season with great esteem while to show the other baseball teams their spirited skills, they will also be unveiling some of their hidden skills.
