Only us, Yankees and Red Sox have no debt as well out of the top ten teams.

Arte bought the team back in 2003 for $184 million, cash.

 

700 percent return on his investment. Not bad.

[Spirit]

Guess changing the name to Los Angeles is really paying off.  

[halodground]

Riverside?  Has this ever been mentioned as a possible relocation site?  This article is the first time I've seen it.

[Ohtaniland]

Buy low, sell high.

[Hollyw00d]

Los Angeles Angels of Temecula?

[ettin]

Los Angeles Angels of Inglewood... Inglewood! Inglewood always up to no good!

Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.

Lisa: That’s specious reasoning, Dad.

Homer: Thank you, dear.

Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.

Homer: Oh, how does it work?

Lisa: It doesn’t work.

Homer: Uh-huh.

Lisa: It’s just a stupid rock.

Homer: Uh-huh.

Lisa: But I don’t see any tigers around, do you?

[Homer thinks of this, then pulls out some money]

Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.

[Lisa refuses at first, then takes the exchange]

Baseball teams generally don't hang banners.

Los Angeles Angels of Inglewood... Inglewood! Inglewood always up to no good!

Unless some city is ready to roll out the red carpet Arte is going to have to stay in Disneyheim or sell the team.

wooosh

Amazing how some people can be so bitter about the Angels being a successful franchise.

One playoff appearance since 2009 and swept in the first round.

 

Successful franchise, yes, but not so much recently.

[mancini79]

Forbes is wrong. Credible sources here continue to say Arte is broke and Pujols contract has financially crippled the team...

[Brandon]

#8 position doesn't make sense when you factor in all the numbers.

 

Good for Arte, he's ran this organization as a class act since day 1. Even with the bad contracts he has positioned himself very well financially and as a business.

 

Guy is such a boss and one of my indirect mentors. I love everything he has done.

[Ohtaniland]

Forbes is wrong. Credible sources here continue to say Arte is broke and Pujols contract has financially crippled the team...

The ticket takers are not impressed.

[tdawg87]

Arte is the best owner this team has ever had.

Man you are obtuse.

 

Zero debt, mega TV contract, valuation of 6x the original purchase price = Successful.

[Stradling]

Claude and YK would like to have a word or two with you about success.

[Jobu]

Speaking of obtuse, the Dodgers are "valued" at $2.4B but the whole narrative is about how they are not making money, are carrying debt, and their big dollar TV deal is a sham because 1/3rd of the fans can't actually watch them on TV.

[Blarg]

Claude and YK would like to have a word or two with you about success.

 

Claude is an Expos fan so he has no experience in success. YK gets up every morning, showers, shaves and applies a double does of Preparation X for his butthurt about the name change.

Leona Helmsley was also very successful.

Good lord Claude.  Is there absolutely anything, anything about the Angels that you like?

[yk9001]

Claude and YK would like to have a word or two with you about success.

 

I think they have been successful.  Very successful. 

 

I don't like several things that they have done.
