CLEVELAND — New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia 76ers minority owners David Blitzer is considering adding a Cleveland sports team to his ownership list.

The Guardians confirmed that they recently spoke to Blitzer about minority ownership of the team.

"While I can confirm meaningful discussions with David Blitzer about purchasing a minority ownership interest in the Cleveland Guardians, we can’t comment any further," said Cleveland Guardians Owner, Chairman and CEO Paul Dolan.

Dolan has been seeking a minority owner to boost finances for the small-market club since minority owner John Sherman left to buy the Kansas City Royals in 2019.
