I keep getting messages about Tommy. Guys and Gals, I know about as much as you. I just know I'm a mess about it. You can read up on the news, look up addresses, and I suppose you can make a good guess as to what happened. But I'm just wishing that somehow.... it's not true. Keep your friends and loved ones close.

I remember the days in Missouri.... I believe Kroenke when he says that he wants to keep the Angels in Anaheim. That said, if Anaheim doesn't play ball with him, he'll leave. He'll build where he wants somewhere in Southern California, and they won't be able to stop him.
Stan Kroenke wants to keep the Angels in Anaheim, per @Ken_Rosenthal

Dude...I really wish he bought the #Yankees from Hal @GarysheffieldJr Arte Moreno is awful. Silent Stan fronts the bill and lets the pro's build a championship winning roster. The Angels are indeed back.
Just in: #Rams owner Stan Kroenke is buying the Los Angeles Angels from Arte Moreno. Kroenke will now own controlling interests in the Rams (NFL), Angels (MLB), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), and Arsenal.

Except he's literally doing the opposite of that now in the last 24 hours. People change as situations change.
I just asked AI for a synopsis of Mozeliak’s career and what he’s known for. It said: • Projected the Cardinals as baseball’s smartest org (“Cardinal Way” arrogance) that backfired after bad player development, and postseason failures • Refused to rebuild, kept the team just good enough with mediocre free agents, patchwork rotations, and aging vets • Stuck with struggling players (Fowler, DeJong, etc.) way too long That’s it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Seems to fit in VERY WELL within the Angels Organization. #FuckYouArte

Disagree.... I think it sets the market, which is bad for the Angels. Dodgers didn't give up as much as you'd think.
The Skubal trade is great news for the Angels’ Detmers/Soriano markets. Neither ever had a chance of being traded to LA, it keeps all the other suitors intact and it sets the market with an outrageous return price for a rental (albeit one of the best SPs in baseball).

Absolutely should
Angels are having throwback week these next two series; Clyde Wright, Chuck Finley and Doug DeCinces among those throwing out ceremonial first pitches -- also, yearly reminder of opinion that the throwback uniforms should probably be the primary uniforms... just saying...
