New York real estate mogul Jared Kushner is among the bidders for the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a new report.

Kushner, who also owns the New York Observer, would be Major League Baseball's youngest owner at 31 if he lands the team.

His bid is one of nine that made it to the second round, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Kushner is working with Aryeh Bourkoff, a UBS vice chairman who specializes in media and technology investment banking, the Times reported.

But the bulk of the money for the bid is coming from Kushner's family, the paper said.

The Dodgers are expected to fetch a steep price, possibly $1.5 billion to $2 billion.

Other bidders include a group headed by Lakers legend Magic Johnson and another headed by hedge fund manager Steve Cohen.
