Frank McCourt testified Tuesday in his divorce trial that a now-contested postnuptial agreement was his wife’s idea to protect her assets from his creditors.

McCourt, 58, took the stand late in the day and mostly recalled his conversations the weeks before he and his wife, former Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt, signed the agreement in March 2004.

The validity of the pact is at the center of the 11-day trial in which a judge could decide whether McCourt has to share ownership of the Dodgers with his wife, who filed for divorce in October after nearly 30 years of marriage.

His testimony also could elicit new details about the inner workings of one of baseball’s more storied franchises but likely will focus on the couple’s recollections of what the agreement was supposed to provide.

McCourt contends the pact gives him sole ownership of the Dodgers, the stadium and the surrounding property, while Jamie McCourt believes the agreement should be thrown out and those assets should be split evenly under California’s community property law.

Briefly: Texas acquired outfielder Jeff Francoeur for its playoff push.

The new York Mets sent Francoeur and cash to Texas for infielder Joaquin Arias, who was designated for assignment last week when Alex Cora was called up by the Rangers.

The strong-armed Francoeur is hitting .237 with 11 homers and 54 RBIs.
