Pablo Torre teases another billionaire bombshell after Clippers reckoning

Pablo Torre is dropping clues about his next investigation — but not enough to reveal exactly where it is headed.The Pulitzer-winning journalist teased a new project Thursday with a simple post on X: “New investigation.Tomorrow.”The attached image supplied the intrigue.Torre posted a photo of Dodgers owner Mark Walter standing with President Donald Trump during a White House ceremony, with Walter presenting Trump a Dodgers jersey bearing No.

“I’ve talked to people on the Knicks about all of this and they’re just not the focus because we have other things that are, by the way, coming very soon that are in the vein of: What are billionaires who run sports trying to get away with using your money?”That comment does not establish that Torre was specifically referring to Walter.But paired with Thursday’s image, it provides a sense of the territory Torre appears interested in exploring: the financial dealings and influence of wealthy sports owners.Walter certainly fits that description.

He owns the Dodgers, and his broader business empire is under federal scrutiny just weeks after he agreed to sell the Lakers only about 14 months after taking control of the franchise.For now, though, the photo is the strongest breadcrumb Torre has provided.After spending the past year investigating Steve Ballmer, Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers, Torre appears ready to turn his attention somewhere else.Exactly what Walter — and Trump — have to do with it should become clearer Friday....
