It’s been 20 years since the Angels won the World Series. Championship droughts aren’t necessarily an objective barometer of an organization. For the Angels, this era doesn’t serve as the best measurement of the Angels’ failures. The wins and losses are damning, sure. But it’s the inability to fulfill expectations that have truly defined this team over the last decade.<\/p>\n
It was just three weeks ago that Angels GM Perry Minasian spoke confidently of the Angels’ future, despite a lack of evidence to back up the optimism.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to win here,\u201d he said, minutes after the trade deadline. \u201c\u2026 There’s obviously established players. Superstar players. We’ve got to build a better supporting cast around them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Years of losing the same way \u2014 with talented players but a weak supporting cast \u2014 while perpetuating the same happy outlook made these words even more hollow.<\/p>\n
And three weeks later, they’re almost meaningless. Team owner Arte Moreno announced Tuesday that he plans to sell the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough this difficult decision was entirely our choice and deserved a great deal of thoughtful consideration, my family and I have ultimately come to the conclusion that now is the time,\u201d Moreno said in a statement, also announcing that Galatioto Sports Partners will assist in the search.<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout this process, we will continue to run the franchise in the best interest of our fans, employees, players, and business partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
