Hold the celebration, Angel fans, because the next owner could be better … or could be even worse.
Yes, there are plenty of reasons to believe that new ownership might mean new hope for the supporters of a franchise that has two of the game’s greatest players yet will have reached the postseason once in 13 seasons by the end of 2022, hasn’t won a postseason game since 2009 and hasn’t had a winning season since 2015.
It’s not totally parallel, but consider: Soto was still 2½ years away from free agency when the Nationals offered what seemed like a monster 15-year, $440 million contract but was actually well below market value for a 23-year-old superstar and backloaded to boot, as the Nats tend to do. Soto and agent Scott Boras declined.
Do you leave a decision on Ohtani up to the new buyer? Or do you do what Nationals controlling owner Mark Lerner did with Soto and direct your general manager to relieve prospective suitors of that responsibility?
