Ownership change clouds future for Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani

Following the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers for $12.5 billion, questions arise about the Los Angeles Dodgers' ownership. Mark Walter, the Dodgers' controlling owner, sold his majority stake in the Lakers, raising speculation despite Walter's commitment to retaining the Dodgers. Shohei Ohtani, who has a 'key man' clause concerning management changes, reportedly intends to stay with the Dodgers, expressing satisfaction with the team's investment and leadership. Ohtani's management does not view potential ownership changes as a significant threat to his stability with the franchise.
