## Resource

Investigative journalist Pablo Torre, who just exposed the Clippers for salary cap violations, may now be turning his lens to the Dodgers—amid swirling federal scrutiny of owner Mark Walter’s $16 billion in loans from his own insurance companies. Regulators probe whether these deals, dating back to 2019, skirted disclosure rules and created conflicts of interest, though Walter denies wrongdoing and insists he has full partner backing. Meanwhile, the NBA’s Clippers punishment—$30 million fine, Kawhi Leonard’s $700K penalty, and Steve Ballmer’s one-year suspension—shows the league’s zero-tolerance stance. While Walter says he’s not selling the Dodgers and team president Stan Kasten confirms the club isn’t for sale, fans should stay tuned: this investigation doesn’t yet involve the Dodgers directly—but the pressure is mounting.
