Moreno Family Exploring Sale of the Los Angeles Angels

[eligrba]

I am not clear whether Moreno is actually selling or exploring his options.  Am I missing something?  There is nothing suggesting that anything is happening. 

[failos]

What if Arte sells the team to the shittiest buyer to salvage his own legacy as owner. Fans will start longing for the days when Arte was owner, and turn their rage at the new Nero-esque owner.

The whole thing is purposely ambiguous. I’m pretty sure there’s already a buyer lined up. Just need MLB, and the owners to approve the new owner.

Pictures rich guy pulling out pen, clicking it open, saying "where do I sign?"

Sees bottom of the lineup.... clicks pen closed.... does the courtesy "do you have a card? Let me talk it over with my wife."

That's when I say: " When she decides, have her give me a call. "

this should remove ambiguity from the rest of the stuff you've seen. does this sound like anything other than selling?

Why would they be purposely ambiguous?

There are legal reasons to not disclose details about the status of this sale. Don’t believe bullshit from Twitter.

Legal reasons obviously.

So, you have no idea?

And I'm not the one making a claim about them having an owner lined up

No I don’t. It’s just a suspicion and ultimately my opinion.

You’re just being awfully defensive. I was genuinely curious

Not a bad idea. Last time they renovated the stadium and won the World Series.

There’s no reason Arte can’t negotiate the sale prior to it becoming public or at the very least gauge interest. I have no idea if he did but it’s certainly legal.

All public indications are that he didn’t.

Of course, the info DiGiovanna got could be wrong. But it seems like we would’ve heard rumors about it if Arte did have a buyer already lines up, and we haven’t.

arte dipping to enjoy 2-3 billion in the bank for the rest of his life without having to deal with angry tweets reeing about how he wont spend or why minor leaguers have to suffer taco bell. must be nice.

also i don't think digiovanna knows shit. he's probably the furthest of all the reporters associated with the angels to have any kind of contact that's close to arte.

I could be wrong, but im guessing he'll sell to the highest bidder, enjoy the rest of his life and his kids great grandkids will be in good shape.

Can you imagine not wanting a team handed to you by your father?
