These are not happy times for the Dodgers. They're bankrupt and at the center of a hate triangle between the McCourts and Bud Selig. The worst part is how easily this all could have been avoided. While the team is struggling to make payroll from month to month, the McCourts' pre-divorce personal expenses could cover every Dodgers' player contract on the books from 2011 on. Here is each player's salary, expressed as items from the McCourts' divorce filing. Salary data from Cot's Contracts.
