It has often been said that the Dodgers have broken Major League Baseball with their spending and on-field dominance. Now, an off-field scandal may break the Dodgers.
As has been reported at length over the past few weeks, Dodgers owner Mark Walter is being investigated by federal prosecutors in Manhattan and the SEC. Walter has not been charged and is cooperating with the investigation. But while the franchise is not accused of wrongdoing, the owner’s legal exposure could wind up impacting it.
