There were a number of stories in early September to watch for the names Theo Epstein and Billy Beane as potentially being part of the new ownership.

Which of the two would you want, assuming they would have primary control over how baseball operations would be administrated?

Has Arte become a free agent yet.....?

I’d rather the new owner hire someone like David Stearns.

But if I had to pick between the two, I’d say Beane.

Not as good as J. Pierpont Reagins.

Chick Moreno is still deciding on how to decide which ownership groups to interview.

Looks like Billy Beane is starting a new position with the A’s being promoted to a position considered to be at “the ownership level.”

So it looks like he won’t be part of any new ownership group here.

I was wondering if it meant he might be.  Where he might not have been able to pursue anything as part of the ownership group for the Halos if he were still considered president for the A's.  So he keeps the 'advisor' role if it doesn't work out.  If the ownership group he's part of wins the bid then he just resigns from the A's.

In their press release, the A's noted that the new position "affords him the opportunity to explore non-baseball sports endeavors."

I think he's had an interest or been involved with some soccer team in the past.

Was everyone aware that the Angels TV deal is worth $140m per year and starting in 2022 each team gets 60m per season for the mlb TV deals?  That's 200m alone in just media revenue.

No excuse for the Angels to not have a minimum $200M payroll.

Money made from tickets, merchandise, ads, sponorships, etc. easily covers the costs for their employees + expenses.

Not sure but I do know that the Padres and some other smaller market teams have a similar payroll and some more.

Yeah, but what percentage of owners are willing to sacrifice the bottom line in order to win? 

They're few and far between. Arte included. They'll do it to and extent if they think the payout will be greater. Like Arte always claims he'd surpass the CBT threshold for the right situation. I'm sure he means it, but those scenarios are rare and thus it won't happen. 

Truth is it's a business investment with a high yield and a track record of certainty.

Yes but unless something changed then 1/3 of the $140 million is taken for revenue sharing. So the true number is closer to $155 million total. But your point is still valid.

Yes, but Diamond Sports AKA Bally's Sports is close to bankruptcy.  If it happens, that would wipe out the $140 million per year.

That's true, but there is other money that is pooled into the revenue sharing that the Angels get back.

Then there’s no reason for those sobs to charge me more than $5 for nachos.
