Fox ousts Dodgers leaders amid ownership shift
Fox ownership prompts the firing of Dodgers manager Bill Russell and general manager Fred Claire. Peter O'Malley, who sold to Rupert Murdoch’s Tax Corp., says he would have acted the same. Tom Lasorda becomes GM for the rest of the season, with Glenn Hoffman as interim manager, as Lasorda’s long tenure and past success color the transition amid trades of Piazza and Nemo.
