Guggenheim bought the team about 10-12 years ago. $2 billion. Immediately spent money to get competitive but not great. People like Adrian Gonzales. Josh Beckett. Reclamations like Justin Turner.
Obviously they’ve built into a powerhouse now. But are playing the deferred contract game.
Looking at the patriots and the warriors the values of their teams peaked when they went on their runs. And plateaued I would guess we will see the following.
dodgers win a couple more championships. Be able to claim the greatest post season streak and run of success in the sports history. Like 20 years in a row and 4-5 championships over a 10-12 year span.
Value of the team both w time and success goes up to $6 billion
Guggenheim sells a majority of the team for $4 billion. Keeps their original $2 billion in it. Dodgers dip due to deferrals but make it to the end of their tv deal. They sign a new massive deal that may even include international money. The new media deal justifies the value of the team or elevates it. Just like frank the Boston parking lot guys tv deal on his exit secured the $2 billion original value.
Once that second media deal is signed la will be worth about 9-12 billion. Guggenheim cashes out of their last 33% and walks away with 3-4 billion more
For their 20-25 year dodger run and relationship Guggenheim will have had a lot of fun. Won 4-5 championships. Had 6-7 hall of famers spend most of their career with La. Kershaw freeman Betts ohtani and perhaps two others. Snell? Someone else?
And Guggenheim will have spent $2 billion and walked away with $8 billion
Not a bad couple of decades of work. And these people are detailed and meticulous. I have no doubt they have it all planned out
You know you’re rich when you are rehabbing and flipping a sports team. I always wanted to buy and flip a small community bank but a sports team? Cha ching. Brilliant.
