That has been reported on since this all first came out.  The Angels claim they didn't do anything wrong.

I'm totally fine if this brings down Arte and Carpino and whoever the fuck else in this shitstain of an organization.

MLB Owners should demand Arte sell the team effective immediately!

Ohtani signing could this help talking to Arte. Is Arte's middle name "RICO"

i've got my own conspiracy theory.

arte put the team up for sale because he couldn't guarantee to manfred and the other owners that his criminal dirty laundry wasn't going to hit the street. while the team was negotiating deals with prospective buyers, arte was also working to keep his name clean potentially. once he was able to bury/destroy any evidence that could lead back to him criminally; he was able to convince the other owners and league legal department that he was in the clear, thus allowing him to remove the angels from the market. i call my conspiracy theory, "unfinished business"

Arte had me fooled. Thought it was about getting into playoffs.

Arte sure does support and contribute to lots of folks who get indicted.  I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's a coincidence.

Lol @ the people who gave this post a troll reaction. You stated a fact.

Ohtani's loyalty to this org is so important at a time like this.

So where do they go from here with upgrading the stadium, etc.?
