I knew I wore an Angels shirt for a reason today!

Saw the perfect comment on this.
 
“If history is a good indicator of the future, Moreno will hire the 2 best financial advisors available and still fail to complete the sale.”
 
Solid take. 

I expect Disney to buy the team and land, and promptly move the team to Las Vegas.  Then Disney will use the land for an additional theme park. 

Haven't read this whole thread yet. I just wanted an excuse to post this:
 

I immediately liked Arte as soon as he bought the Angels not only because of the lowering of beer prices but because he reminded me of my Father-in-Law. I then ran into Arte at Spring Training some 15 years ago and thought he was super personable after we briefly talked about the upcoming season. My admiration has certainly diminished over the years and it seems like now is a good time for a change. 
The team is in the dumps right now and needs new direction and an organizational overhaul.  I sincerely wish Arte the best. He tried. He just got in the way too much, too. 

Same...
I've met him a few times and he's always been very cool.
When he was a brand new owner he went way, way out of his way to hook me up once. I've always been loyal after that.
But I have no problem with this. It's time.
Just wish he could have gotten his ring.

If this historically shitty season leads to an Arte sale of the team we all agree that it was worth it right?

Arte will make a lot of money from his investment in the team. 
I think the last few years for his ownership have been about a real estate deal and extracting as much money from that as he can. Once that deal fell through he really doesn't have a reason to own the team anymore.

Today, Angels Baseball announced that the Organization has initiated a formal process to evaluate strategic alternatives including a possible sale of the team.
 

There's really no reason to trot Gosselin out there or Duffy when he returns. Play the kids like the OP suggests. Let's see what Thiass and Stefanic can do. 

You're saying two guys who come from our farm as 3Bs can't be worse? That's almost daring the baseball gods.

Feels like the team is put together with duct tape and chewing gum.

Let Trout and Ohtani co-manage. Ohtani can become a three-way player/manager.
 
 

I was thinking the smartest most effective trade would be for the Angels to trade some of their vaginas for penises.  I hear you can do that these days.

If Katy Perry married Perry Minasian, she would be Katy Perry Minasian.

2 years just seems a bit too short to really judge a GM.

Fucking Nevin always does this.

After not winning shit for ten years with his fat ass?
