New York Yankees to Buy Los Angeles Dodgers?

Now that Frank McCourt has agreed to sell the Dodgers, the New York Yankees have expressed interest in scooping them up.

Other potential buyers include Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and previous Dodgers owner Peter O’Malley, but neither is likely to win a bidding war against the deep-pocketed Yanks.

Historically, an entire baseball team has never been absorbed by another, but it actually makes sense in this case.

“We are going to get all their best players when they hit free agency anyway,” said Yankees GM Brian Cashman. “We figure buying the team now will just cut out the middle man.”
