MLB Divorce Case Costs Millions

While celebrity divorces are known for being lengthy and costly, the divorce between the owner of a Major Baseball League team and his wife is reaching record amounts. Financial experts believe that the split could be more expensive than any of the players' salaries, one of which takes home $33 million according to his contract.

So far, the wife has racked up $11.2 million in lawyer fees, while the husband had paid just slightly less at $9.4 million. This is just for the divorce case alone and doesn't include the fees for the separate bankruptcy case regarding ownership and the future of the baseball team. The pair has been battling for 21 months and an end does not appear to be in sight.

The divorce and bankruptcy cases appear to be affecting the team as well, as they are in their second losing season in a row, the first time this has happened in 24 years. It also appears as though they will sell fewer than 3 million seats this year - a first in 19 years.
