Laker\’s Part Owner Interested To Buy LA Angels! Will The Deal Complete?

As per the recent reports, LA Lakers\’ part owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, may soon add another LA Angels club to his portfolio. A decade ago, Soon-Shiong and Steven Cohen attempted to purchase the Dodgers. But Mark Walter and his Guggenheim Baseball partners ultimately won the offer. And now, recent news has been reported by Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times that Patrick Soon-Shiongper is interested in acquiring Los Angeles Angels.

Patrick Soon-Shiong May Buy Stakes In Angles!

The Los Angeles Angels are anticipated to fetch at least $2.5 billion. This is a record for an MLB franchise, and Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong is interested in buying. It is not anticipated that the selling process will get up steam until the winter. Owner of the Golden State Warriors, Joe Lacob, Japanese investors, and Southern California are among the groups considering making an offer, though. Given that Soon-Shiong attempted to purchase the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012, his interest in buying the LA Angels should come as no surprise.

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the man behind the development of the cancer medication Abraxane, is said to have a net fortune of $6.9 billion. He is a transplant surgeon by profession and holds biotech investor and philanthropist positions. Soon-Shiong apparently also invested in Zoom before the pandemic. According to Shaikin, the Angels may fetch an MLB record price of at least $2.5 billion. The Lakers, on the other hand, are currently valued at $5.5 billion. A source acquainted with the procedure but not permitted to talk publicly about it verified Soon-interest. Shiong\’s. 

He said to The Times that he had nothing to add. The sale\’s investment bank, Galatioto Sports Partners, likewise declined to comment. Even though they fielded the last American League MVPs, Mike Trout, and Shohei Ohtani. LA Angels are presently in the middle of another losing year. Angles had a mediocre 60-78 record during the year. Following an early-season 12-game losing run, the team sacked manager Joe Maddon.

There is little reason to believe that the LA Angels\’ current poor play and dwindling attendance will continue. One of the two MLB teams that are up for grabs in the second-largest media market will be the subject of competitive bidding. Injuries to Anthony Rendon, Jared Walsh, and others have significantly impacted Los Angeles this year. However, it is not a justification for a subsequent bad year. With a 60-78 record and third-place standing in the AL West, the Halos are on pace to miss the postseason for the seventh consecutive year.
