Soon-Shiong Signals Dodgers Bid If Walter Sells Amid Probe

Although Dodgers owner Mark Walter says the team isn’t for sale, federal scrutiny of his insurance empire and related cash pressures could spur bidders, with Patrick Soon-Shiong saying he would lead an investment group if Walter chooses to sell. Industry talk values the Dodgers at roughly $10–$13 billion, and Soon-Shiong—owner of the Los Angeles Times and a former Dodgers bidder—could be a leading contender, even as the Lakers recently changed hands to a Bob Iger–Kushner-backed group.
