Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter stated publicly for the first time that he will not sell the franchise despite facing ongoing federal investigations into his financial empire. Walter confirmed to the California Post that the team will be kept "no matter what" and emphasized a sustained commitment to winning over the next decade. Dodgers executives Stan Kasten and Andrew Friedman, along with TWG Global, also denied any impending sale.
