Auctioning off Dice-K for $51 million should have shored up the Lions' shaky finances. Instead, the Lions are in serious trouble. Earlier this month, the club admitted that its scouts had paid a pair of amateur players under the table, a clear violation of the rules. (Seibu turned down TIME's requests for interviews.)
