Magic Johnson is making a major play for the major leagues. According to the “Wall Street Journal,” a group led by the NBA legend has been awarded the right to buy baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers.
The group’s winning bid of two-billion dollars shatters the previous record sales price for a U.S. sports franchise set when Steve Ross purchased the Miami Dolphins for one-point-one billion dollars three years ago. The report named Johnson’s partners in the deal as Peter Guber, Stan Kasten, Bobby Patton and Todd Boehly.
