Trout Cheers Angels' $4B Sale for a Fresh Start
2 Sep
Summary
- Mike Trout expresses excitement for the Los Angeles Angels' sale.
- Stan Kroenke is purchasing the team for $4 billion from Arte Moreno.
- Trout hopes the new ownership brings back a winning culture to the team.
Mike Trout, a 16-season veteran with the Los Angeles Angels, has voiced enthusiasm for the franchise's upcoming sale. Sports mogul Stan Kroenke is set to purchase the team from current owner Arte Moreno for $4 billion, a transaction anticipated to finalize next year.
Trout described the impending change as a much-needed "fresh start" for the Angels, a franchise that has faced significant on-field struggles. He expressed optimism that the new ownership will help re-establish a winning culture within the clubhouse.
The Angels have not won an MLB playoff game since 2009. Despite Moreno's purchase coinciding with the team's only World Series win in 2003, their performance has largely declined since Trout's MLB debut in 2011. Currently, the team holds the worst record in the American League and is projected to lose 100 games this season for the first time in franchise history.
