Winning, attention to detail, and a sense of geographic belonging have eluded the franchise during the Arte Moreno era
The lasting legacy of Arte Moreno’s tenure as the Angels’ owner might be the identity crisis. That says a lot.
This is the team that signed Shohei Ohtani and allowed him to simultaneously be the team’s designated hitter and a member of its starting rotation, empowering him to produce at least two of the best all-around seasons ever by a baseball player. However momentous they were, the decisions that led directly to the drafting of Trout, the signing of Ohtani and the death of Skaggs were not executed from the owner’s box.
The result was the perception – rightly or wrongly – that the Angels’ concept of baseball under Moreno was that of a team sport built on a few individual superstars. Six image display spaces adorn the entrance to Angel Stadium. Fill the six with headshots of marketable stars, marvel at their individual pursuits, and the main roster-building box has been checked. Right?
