Not if he wants the Angels to be the Yankees of the West.

What about this guy? He's been tweeting from the rooftops trying to get an interview with Arte. 

Good for Jon Heyman and the NY Post.

Gawd I can't stand Jon Heyman. I hope Ohtani absolutely rakes and kills it on the mound for the remainder of his starts and wins the MVP, just to see Jon Heyman shit himself on the MLB Network.

Everything you posted is true. While I dislike both reporters, I got to give kudos when it's due as Heyman was at least able to get an Arte Moreno interview and his thoughts about Ohtani. 

It would have been a much better "Exclusive interview" if he got him to talk more about why he didn't sell the team. 

[Revad]

Doesn’t Breitbart still have it?

Heyman got an interview because he was in Florida at the owners meetings.

Don’t go tooting Heyman’s horn too much. Basically all he asked about was Ohtani, and he ignored much more important topics.

He didn’t even ask Arte about his decision not to sell the team. That’s malpractice from a reporter.

Maybe the topic was off-limits and he was told to get the interview it would just be about Ohtani.

The most important topic is Ohtani.

To Heyman, maybe.

To Angels fans, the most important topic is why he chose to pull the team off the market.

Possible, but Heyman doesn’t make it clear if that’s the case. (Which you hope he would)

No. It’s still Ohtani

Team > Player

Arte’s decision to not sell the team is way more important to the team than any Ohtani update.

And that player is a big part of the team.

Exclusive interview = Heyman was hanging out when Arte was walking past and got him to answer two questions.

Probably.

It's a real trip going on Twitter and seeing all the outrage from the twenty-somethings cosplaying as sixteen year olds. We all need our rage outlets, I guess.

Not this Angels fan.

Ohtani is more important than why Arte didn't sell.

Much more important. 

[Pancake Bear]

For the record, I don't give a crap why Arte didn't sell. Would've preferred he did, but he didn't. Knowing why doesn't change anything. I'd maybe like to hear if sticking around means he's more committed to going all in and less micromanaging his GM'a decisions, but it still wouldn't change things. 

On the other hand, is he willing to do whatever it takes to bring in Ohtani? 100% yes. That is by far the most important question that needs answering from open Angels perspective, imo. 

And, fwiw, Heyman is a national reporter out of New York. The vast majority of his readers aren't going to care in the slightest why Arte stayed. For him - and for everyone else in baseball outside of Angels fans - Ohtani's future with the Angels is the only thing they will care about where the Angels are concerned.

Is there a place I can make a bet for which team Ohtani signs with? Seems like a good way to make money
