    He has family I’m sure he cares about, he could just hand it to them. His son is very involved in business

    Whatever you want to think about Phil and Nike as a company, and there is a lot to breakdown there, he would be one of the most powerful owners in all of professional sports, given his power, connections, influence, money, etc. that permeate all of sports from the amateur to professional.

    This would be a huge get.

    Phil Knight is probably concerned more about his legacy right now than anything. This would add greatly to it.

    Smolinisky is only 42. His Wikipedia entry sounds like a really smart dude who has worked his butt off and who may actually give a crap about people, too. First I've heard of him.

    Dodgers have money to burn, but it's a good sign that they've clearly been willing to do so in order to win (and have been winning).
