Arte Moreno talks to NY Post

[ten ocho recon scout]

Prediction.

 

Arte didn't sell because he's giving the team to Ohtani to stay.

To Heyman, maybe.

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

You couldn't more wrong.

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.

I’m not pumping Heyman up, but understand that Sam is at the ballpark all season long with Arte and has failed to get an interview with the owner. 
 

Arte could have refused comment to reporters at the owners meeting like he has with local reporters all season long.

And that player is a big part of the team. 

and despite his enormous impact, we’ve seen that it takes more than that to build a good team.

Which is why Moreno’s decision to not sell the team (which means the amount spent on infrastructure isn’t changing) is more important than a single player.

Not this Angels fan.

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

So are you an Ohtani fan or an Angels fan?

Arte‘s decision to sell or not sell the team has a way bigger impact on the Angels than any Ohtani updates, which is why Arte not selling is more important than Ohtani.

As great as Ohtani is, the owner of the team is more important to success.

As we’ve seen, the Angels still can’t win with Trout and Ohtani because the owner hasn’t invested enough in other aspects of the organization or gone over the luxury tax.

He could’ve, but Fletch said on this very website that Arte has been warming up to the idea of speaking to the media.

Heyman was the first reporter to see Arte face-to-face since he’s begun to warm up to that idea.

He gave his reason. He believes there is unfinished business and wants to see it through.

You stated that Angels fans care more about why he decided not to sell. The responses here have proven you to be incorrect.

Bold move.

[Angels 1961]

PRETICTION TIME, I say Ohtani does not sign with Angels. None of my predictions come to pass. Any day now Ohtani will sign with halos to keep my record in tack.

The responses from people who chose to respond.

We have no way of knowing, but if Heyman posted an article with an interview with Moreno that just discussed why he decided not to sell the team, I think there’d be more views and replies to the subsequent thread on this website than this subsequent thread.

Sounds to me like your predicting that he’ll sign with the Angels.

That is a really dumb question.

I am an Angels fan and I'll still be an Angels fan if Ohtani leaves and I'm an Angels fan regardless of the reason Arte didn't sell.

Maybe so, but my point still stands:

Arte‘s decision to sell or not sell the team has a way bigger impact on the Angels than any Ohtani updates, which is why Arte not selling is more important than an Ohtani “status” update.

Correct. That is evidence. 

What evidence do you have to the contrary?

Ohtani will not sign with Angels period. If he does 2 months no 3 months off AW for me.
