Mike Trout Takes a Parting Shot at Arte Moreno After Angels' 'Needed' Sale to Stan Kroenke
Stan Kroenke will add the Angels to his sprawling sports portfolio after Arte Moreno’s 24-year ownership ended with 12 playoff-less seasons.
- On Tuesday, sports mogul Stan Kroenke agreed to purchase the Los Angeles Angels from longtime owner Arte Moreno for $4 billion, marking a potential fresh start for the struggling franchise.
- Moreno purchased the Angels in 2003, but the franchise has clinched 11 consecutive losing seasons; critics cited his heavy-handed management as a barrier to success.
- Kroenke owns successful franchises including the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Nuggets; star outfielder Mike Trout said the change 'was needed for a fresh start.'
- General Manager John Mozeliak and team president Molly Jolly informed staff operations remain unchanged for now, with the transaction requiring MLB approval and expected to close in first quarter 2027.
- The sale positions the Angels to compete in the American League West against aggressive spenders like Houston and Texas, as the franchise seeks to overcome years of mediocrity.
