How These MLB Teams Went Completely BROKE!

The Craziest Financial Collapses in MLB History With reports swirling around Dodgers owner Mark Walter and Los Angeles facing a possible second financial crisis in two decades, we're diving into the wildest, most shocking financial collapses in Major League Baseball history. From bankrupt franchises and relocated teams to owners who ran their clubs straight into the ground, this is the untold money side of baseball history. You'll learn how the Montreal Expos were doomed by a weak Canadian dollar and a canceled 1994 World Series, why the Washington Senators fled to Texas to become the Rangers, how the 1969 Seattle Pilots nearly lost every player to free agency before becoming the Milwaukee Brewers, and how the St. Louis Browns lost a battle with Anheuser-Busch and moved to Baltimore to become the Orioles. We also cover the San Diego Padres' almost-move to Washington D.C. as the "Washington Stars," Connie Mack's fire-sale of the Philadelphia Athletics, the Mets' disastrous ties to Bernie Madoff, the Arizona Diamondbacks' deferred-payment gamble, the Frank and Jamie McCourt Dodgers bankruptcy, Tom Hicks and the Texas Rangers' bankruptcy auction, and the single craziest ownership scandal in baseball history: the 1899 Cleveland Spiders.
