do some google searching on him.  he likes controversy, owns a paper and has had some negative accusations relative to the way he does business.

Doesn't seem like anything more damning than what Cohen was involved in though

I’d be floored if Arte didn’t just sell the team to whoever the highest bidder is.

He still owes money to former mayor of Anaheim. Plus, Skaggs family and kids in D.R.

Will you be a silent partner or more like Arte? Just evaluating the options.  You can plan on me being more like George Costanza.

I will get my roster advice here, since everyone here is an expert.

Angels are moving to El Segundo, confirmed.

I can see him being called Patrick Soon-Gone whenever he does something that the fan base doesn't like.

Soon-Shiong invented Abraxame, a drug that is very effective against pancreatic cancer.  He is a self-made billionaire worth about $7b.

Maybe this guy knows how to cure the Angel’s often diagnosed organizational “cancer” ?

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times, is reportedly considering a bid to buy the Angels.

Soon-Shiong’s interest in the Angels was first reported by Sportico.

Angels owner Arte Moreno announced last month that he is considering selling the Angels. The process is likely to take months, at best. It could even take years.

Soon-Shiong partnered with Steve Cohen in an attempt to buy the Dodgers in 2012. Cohen eventually purchased the New York Mets.

Soon-Shiong is a minority owner of the Lakers.

Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob, who attended UC Irvine and worked at Angel Stadium when he was young, is also widely considered a likely candidate to bid for the Angels.

Even take years to complete?

 

I want the countdown to be 22 games left in the Arte Moreno era.

To be fair, Pujols wasn’t a cancer as much as he was just a representation of a bad contract and fading performance.  He was a dick at the end in my opinion, but I think it is better to judge him on the whole ten years.  Just a disappointment.

Hamilton on the other hand was a disaster loser, and he deserves no consideration.  I get that drug addiction is a “disease” but it is also important to note that sometimes the person that ends up addicted was a shitty person to start with.
