Soon-Shiong getting in on Dodgers

The only question, apparently, is which bid to buy the Dodgers will billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong join. Labeled by some as the richest man in Los Angeles, Soon-Shiong already owns a piece of the Lakers nas has an interest in joining an NFL ownership group. From Bill Shaikin of the LA Times:

The Dodgers are the immediate priority, with at least nine bidders still in the running to buy the team and several of them courting Soon-Shiong.

"We have participated in several meetings during the last few weeks and have concluded that we will absolutely participate in pursuing the Dodgers," Chuck Kenworthy, the representative for Soon-Shiong, said in a statement.

"At this time, we intend to take follow-up meetings in order to determine which group will best serve the team, the loyal Dodger fans and our great city."
