Bud Selig, the Commissioner of Baseball, has taken over the operations of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"The Dodgers have been one of the most prestigious franchises in all of sports, and we owe it to their legion of loyal fans to ensure that this club is being operated properly," Mr. Selig said in a prepared statement.
