Dredging this up because with the announcement that Moreno is now exploring selling the team, I can't help but think the fiasco involved in this thread is the main reason why.

Hallelujah

I saw, I came, I left.

I think if he goes and they stay, whomever comes in better be ready to get whatever they need in the door to get them to the World Series. I'm a Guardians fan so it's no skin off me if they remain stagnant, but Trout and Ohtani deserve more than what they're getting from ownership now.

I’ll just put it here that whoever buys the Angels is absolutely going to move them out of Orange County. I think a dude like Steve Balmer may be a pretty decent fit. 

 

Also lol at Lacob getting them. Oakland Angels FTW. 
 

Also, I have to say this much, too. For as bad as Arte was, I have to point out that part of that “Good riddance” article is just straight up inaccurate. Hamilton, I’ll give you. That was a bad signing. But Lincecum as an example of one of the Angels bad signings is kinda laughable considering how toast everyone knew he was (and so did the Angels, and that’s why they gave him a tiny deal and he started out in AAA), and Rendon wasn’t by any means thought to be “past his prime”. I’ll give you that Arte has made some really bad decisions, but some of those signings are just bum luck. Also, there’s still time for Rendon! What should be looked at as more damning than any signing is the the Skaggs nightmare. That’s the :censored: that shows the real lack of organizational control. Bad signings are one thing, but the Angels problems run WAY deeper than any of that.

I can't see leaving the Angels leaving Southern California, and in particular the Los Angeles/Orange Counties media market.  Maybe the next potential owner can re-negotiate a legit (i.e. not "greasing the palms") stadium deal with the city of Anaheim, or if all else fails there, Long Beach has been an option that was mentioned as recent as a few months ago.  There's an article in yesterday's Long Beach Press-Telegram that reiterated what their mayor said back in May, right after the stadium sale with Anaheim broke down, that he and the city council would be re-open to negotiate a stadium deal there.  However, the writers in the article stated that the Angels could even be years away from getting a new owner, leaving to the idea that a potential new owner could still keep the team in Anaheim.

 

After this season, the Angels still have six years left with their lease with Angel Stadium, with the option to extend the lease to 2038--which by then, the current stadium would be 72 years old.
