Dodgers getting some Magic?

Magic Johnson told Bill Plashcke of the Los Angeles Times that he?s putting together a group to buy the Dodgers.

His group includes Stan Kasten, the former president of the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals, and Mark Walter, chief executive of Guggenheim Partners. ?To the extent that Major League Baseball has a say in who buys ? and they will, although less than usual given the bankruptcy auction backdrop ? having Kasten on board is pretty big. ?He?s a favorite of Selig?s, who put Kasten together with the Lerners in Washington when they bought the Expos/Nationals.

Johnson ? while clearly the face of this group ? would be more than a mere figurehead. ?He has sports ownership experience given a previous stake in the Lakers and a stake in the Dayton Dragons minor league team. ?He?s sort of a renaissance mogul, with numerous business and philanthropic interests.
