Court commissioner rejects Jaime McCourt’s bid to be reinstated as Dodgers’ CEO amid divorce

Court denies McCourt’s bid to get Dodgers job back

LOS ANGELES — A court commissioner has denied Jamie McCourt’s bid to be reinstated as the chief executive of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon ruled Thursday in Los Angeles there is no state law to support her bid.

The ruling came during a divorce hearing between the former chief executive and Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, who fired her for allegedly cheating on him and doing a poor job heading the team.

Jamie McCourt argued she should be given her job back because of her claims that she co-owns the Dodgers. She also wanted more than $300,000 in spousal support and perks such as travel by private jet if she’s reinstated.

Jamie McCourt filed for divorce last month. The couple had been married for 30 years.
