Ex-Owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers lends out $200 million:
“One of the hottest areas of finance these days is also one of the oldest: small-business lending.
With traditional banks constrained by regulations put in place since the financial crisis, alternative investment firms and technology start-ups are increasingly in the business of lending to companies. One new firm, MGG Investment Group, which is expected to make its official debut on Wednesday, has raised $200 million for a fund it will use to try to capture a slice of this market.
The firm, based in Manhattan, said it raised the capital from Frank H. McCourt Jr., the real estate developer who formerly owned the Los Angeles Dodgers. Although its loans will probably be more expensive than those from a traditional bank, MGG is hoping that its Wall Street expertise and a nimble approach can help it find business.”

Bleacher Report discusses some “bold predictions” for 2015:
“The sky appears to be the limit for the 2015 Los Angeles Dodgers. Their new acquisitions bring flexibility and talent, and the outgoing players have been adequately replaced.
2014 saw the team finish 94-68, the second-best record in the National League, and although the team on the field will look different than it did at the end of last year, it should still be successful. The major departures are Hanley Ramirez, Dee Gordon, and Matt Kemp, but Jimmy Rollins, Howie Kendrick, and the potential platoon of Joc Pederson and Scott Van Slyke should be able to replace the production of the aforementioned trio. Additionally, the Dodgers added some high-upside pitchers to the back of the rotation in Brandon McCarthy and Brett Anderson.”
