For some, owning one of the premier franchises in baseball isn’t enough. On Saturday, it was announced that Todd Boehly and Mark Walter, both part of the ownership group of the Dodgers, won the winning bid for the right to purchase the Chelsea Football Club for a cool $5.25B.
Soccer, or should we say football, reporter Fabrizio Romano was one of the first to report the news.
Chelsea went up for sale in March due to sanctions from the United Kingdom. The UK government forced the previous owner, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, to sell the club in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
