The San Diego U-T reported that members of the O’Malley group toured Petco Park on Friday night with team owner John Moores, were continuing to negotiate the sales price Saturday and were hopeful a deal could be completed before to the July 10 All-Star game. Fox Sports reported the deal was imminent and O’Malley’s to lose.
O’Malley, 74, is actually only expected to lead the group for the first year or two, and then turn it over to his sons and nephews.
Reports claim the sale price is expected to be approximately $800 million, or about $1.35 billion less than what the Dodgers sold for
