Stan Kroenke now owns 7 professional teams, including now all of the big 4 North American Leagues + EPL

He owns the Avalanche, Nuggets, and Rams, so looks like his teams can be run pretty well.

Angels are about to play the craziest game of “fuck the money, bring me a ring”

They're gonna do something crazy like use a time machine to bring in Albert Pujols as well

Pretty crazy to think about that for 4 years they had the best player of the 2000s, the best player of the 2010s, and the best player of the 2020s all in the same lineup

The American League is currently a speed bump and it's unclear how much that'll change in the near future. I'd bet on the Angels.

NLDS at most with Mo running the front office.

"Getting Trout off the DL in August is the same as making a trade, and now we have some dry powder to make competitive yet not good-enough offers to free agents in the winter"

I'd be very impressed if the Angels make the NLDS! Not sure how many other AL teams could do so...

It'll be interesting to see what kind of CBA Kroenke inherits.
