I am expecting either the same payroll or a modest increase to remain "competitive" during the sale period. I can't imagine anyone or group interested in purchasing the Angels interested in having Arte limiting the teams competitiveness. I think maintaining status quo is the best business plan for Arte and probably the most inviting option for prospective buyers. Of course, I've never spent a couple of billion dollars so I actually have no idea about any of this.
I just want to watch the Angels play in the playoffs.
