I only know about one of the groups through a family member. It is an OC group. Supposedly, they turned in  an offer yesterday. Was told 5 groups in the bidding.

Does this group play X-Box?

That's exciting.  Would be huge if there could be some clarity prior to the off season.

Called ClipperVision, the new service costs $199.99 per year. Available only to viewers in the Los Angeles market, it will provide access to all the team’s games except those broadcast nationally.

"Manfred said the Angels sale process is “ongoing,” with the league working to conduct background checks of potential bidders before releasing any financial information to them. He declined to offer a timetable for the conclusion of a sale.

“Probably too early to guess as to whether it will be done by opening day,” he said. “I think it is a really appealing franchise. I think there will be multiple bidders. When there are multiple bidders, it’s always more complicated.”

as far as I'm concerned, opening day is irrelevant.  Since there's really no chance of getting it done by the time it could impact this off season then I say take your time and do it right.

Wanting secure borders isn’t racist.  Someone report his post.

I wouldn't go as far as to call these commercials racist but they are bat shit fear mongering at a high level. There are honest ways to present opinions on this issue, showing hispanic migrants and taking about raping 3 year old kids is only there to trigger the mushy brained, white, boomer, baseball audience.

i would call that racist. i'm not lecturing you, i'm just using your post to dive in on this. you don't have to call someone a beaner to be racist toward them. calling them all rapists and murderers is good enough to hurdle the threshhold.

I mean I’m not going to fight you too hard on this but the commercial doesn’t call them “all” anything. What it does do is it takes a legitimate issue and plays it very strongly for fear, whether or not that’s racist ill leave to the individual.
