My knowledge is more from an economics and jobs standpoint. I'll admit I know less about the schools. Both entities provide a significant amount of jobs to citizens of Anaheim (and other cities) which in itself is a tremendous benefit to having the team. Let's say they left and went to LA, that would leave a lot of people without jobs unless they commuted. This would in turn leave less people spending money on other services within Anaheim which would continue to snowball into other problems. The trickle down effect they both have is massive. Now if they went to another city close by, the impact would be significantly less and many of the same benefits would still exist for Anaheim. At the same time if Moreno tried to get the city to finance the new stadium, you could argue that the citizens of Anaheim are better off if the team leaves. This has been a bit of hot topic lately and a lot of research coming out shows that the city is almost always better off not helping pay for new sports infrastructure. Mainly because of the trend for teams to move around more than ever before, which leaves a city like Oakland paying for the coliseum another 20+ years after they leave next year.

A ton of Jobs and money spent at Anaheim businesses thanks to them. Make no mistake they have been the most important thing in Anaheim's history. I wouldn't be surprised if they have been directly or indirectly responsible for the majority of business in Anaheim since Disneyland opened in the 1950's. I know for a fact that it was basically an agricultural city then Disneyland pretty much changed the landscape of the area. They both also helped bring the Ducks. I could go on and on but I've read research papers that say Disneyland is the single most important thing In Orange County's history. Whether you/I agree is a different story but it is an interesting read nonetheless.

As long as they stay in OC I'm happy. I live in SD now but it would be extremely upsetting if they left the county.

Really wish we would have gotten Vlad Jr. that guy is going to be so special. Imagine if the Angels had Ohtani and him, damn.

It's all over the news and baseball forums. It was also the very first thing they talked about after the game on ESPN last night.

I'm amazed they are thinking about letting Maddon go, he's the best manager the Cubs have ever had. He would be the best manager on the market as he wins with or without elite talent. I would love to see it.

When would we have a solid idea of his timeline for next year? Curious when he will be able to hit.

yeahhhh day off of work definitely involved beer.

Arm is only one fascist of defense. Mookie's best asset is his range, as he is basically a CF playing RF.

He is a good manager but this teams needs a change of culture or it'll be more of the same for years to come

We have drawn the big three every series which is sad. Also I wish I could get a text only when Trout and Ohtani were hitting so I don't have to waste my time watching the rest of this dumpster fire.

I left for lunch and we were up 1-0, I come back and we are down 2-18. Might be the most embarrassing game of the season.

Arenado is the better player but losing vital prospects is scary now that the team is finally putting together a great farm system.

lmao okay everyone and their mom knows how much he loves Philly and not everybody feels that way about living here STFU

I think it's fairly obvious that if he declines this it means he has the intention to leave, which I would honestly do If I was in his position.

In the middle of typing that this has all the makings of a 7-0 game at least and he hits a hr, we are getting rolled

He is significantly better than every hitter you mentioned outside of Trout. Obviously if you factor in his cost then that's a different story but as a player it's not really close.

To be fair nobody has the same home and away splits. Even Trout has a .40 higher batting average away then at home. Arenado's splits are similar to numerous other stars in the game today. Even away from Coors he would still be on pace to hit 35-40 hrs and be the 2nd best 3b in baseball defensively. Not too mention that he is hitting .315 with RISP, which is drastically better than our current #4 hitter, so the team would have someone that can actually knock people in on a very consistent basis. I'm sure that if we look back at Upton's at-bats, his inability to do so cost the Angels at least 5 games this year.

Putting Upton between Trout and Ohtani hurt today. Two big opportunities missed.

Ohtani just keeps getting better. This 1-2 tandem is so fun to watch. Hopefully he is fine, would like to get an update.

I'm confused everything i read say he's 29...

no reason why EY jr wasn't up at the beginning of the year. Instead we had Blash, Young, Hermisillo, and Calhoun...I know people will say he wasn't hitting well in the minors but he might have played better in the pros as he has shown two years in a row.

man what an excellent game, living up to his standards!

Took him 7 runs to finally make a move. Honestly hate our head coach.

This is about to be a 6-7 run inning. The coach has to read this situation and make a move. Every game is must win now. Just now gets someone up, F*ck you scioscia.
