NY Post: “A Golden State Warriors group — plus groups from Hollywood, Orange County and Japan (Shohei Ohtani connection!) — are showing interest in the Angels.”

Did they get the Groupon to purchase the team? 

Wait false alarm.  It was the Nationals buyer trying to use a BOGO coupon.

But Heyman will keep us posted with cryptic click bait teases.

MLB is somewhat different from the NBA.   But if he has enough financial backing, Lacob is intriguing.

Still prefer Ballmer though.

Shaikin noted that Lacob faces some competition from Los Angeles Rams governor Stan Kroenke. He apparently won't have to compete with another NBA executive, as Shaikin reported that Steve Ballmer of the Los Angeles Clippers and Mark Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks are both uninterested in pursuing the Angels.

San Jose is owned by the Giants

Both Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and Ducks owners Henry and Susan Samueli are "not believed to be interested in the Angels" (L.A. TIMES, 8/24).

Kroenke would be an interesting one.  He just spent $5.5 billion for a stadium in Inglewood to make it an entertainment destination.  Imagine if he put that much effort into an area that is actually an entertainment and vacation destination.

Kroneke would be another good choice.   Even though he’s mid 70s, his group essentially runs the Super Bowl champ Rams, SC champ Av’s, and the usually solid NBA Nuggets.

Does any family own a NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB team?  That would be quite a family legacy.  Even rarer, is for them to be split between two areas.  Denver and LA.

How does this make any sense? If a team was moving to San Jose the A’s would’ve done it 15 years ago.

Plus, Lacob grew up watching the Angels. Don't think he would move the team

Good thing hot dogs would still be on the menu.

The Angels are not moving.  The new owner will lock up Ohtani and build a ballpark here.

The House that Touthani Built.

[ten ocho recon scout]

I'm hoping the Japanese group is at least doing it to pressure Arte to lock up Ohtani, even of they end up spending their money on some strip mall instead later on.

No mention of us. And I was willing to pony up $20. Ingrates.

[eligrba]

I would also pitch in 20.00 but would need a payment plan for 30 yrs.

Disney again? Still many marketing possibilities specifically in OC that other candidates (counting Samueli out) don't have. Maybe the new generation of ownership want to emulate what the older one did.

The Knotts family was looking to make an offer.....
