Pablo Torre Teases New Investigation With Mark Walter-Trump Photo, Targeting Sports Billionaires

Summary
Thursday’s teaser offered only one concrete clue: a photo of Dodgers owner Mark Walter handing President Donald Trump a No. 47 Dodgers jersey at a White House ceremony, with Torre posting, “New investigation. Tomorrow.”
Torre had already framed the project as an examination of “what are billionaires who run sports trying to get away with using your money,” saying on “The Dan Patrick Show” that he had heard from multiple teams but the Knicks were not the focus.
Walter fits that lane of scrutiny: beyond owning the Dodgers, his wider business empire is under federal scrutiny, and he agreed to sell the Lakers roughly 14 months after taking control of the franchise.
The tease signals a shift from Torre’s past year investigating Steve Ballmer, Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers to a new target, with Walter’s connection to Trump likely central when the full report lands Friday.
