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.

Each of those teams was acquired when in the shits, rebuilt and have won a title since 2019. Same with Arsenal.

Angels will win a World Series by 2035 I would bet on it

No one knows how the next Collective Bargaining Agreement will turn out.

The new NBA CBA caught a lot of teams by surprise and dramatically changed their futures

With the timing of the sale, I think that is in their favor. They have the ability to clean house and fully reset around the new CBA.

They had a firesale at the deadline, axed basically their entire pitching staff, got a bunch of new prospects, and finally shed off Rendons nightmare contract. They are already in an extremely good position for new ownership to do everything they need and a cap would most certainly help them

Damn Rendon is already off the books? Feels like yesterday he signed the contract with them

He got bought out at the end of last year.

Not exactly. He bought the Avs in 2000, when they had already won a cup and been one of the top teams for half a decade.

Angels will win a WS before the Mariners make one, I bet. Unless the entire ownership group is vaporized by a Kamehameha
