Report: Part-Owner of Dodgers, Lakers in Talks To Buy Washington Spirit

Todd Boehly, the part-owner of the Dodgers and Lakers, is reportedly in talks to purchase NWSL's Washington Spirit, who is in the midst of a power struggle and fallout of an abusive scandal, per the Washington Post.

He reportedly made a “credible offer” to buy the team from Steve Baldwin, who recently resigned from his roles as the CEO and managing partner. Spirit players previously called for Baldwin to sell the team to fellow co-owner, Y. Michele Kang. Per The Athletic, Baldwin's offer to Kang was "at an overall $22 million valuation," and sources told the outlet that she was ready to write the check.
