No entry to those suffering from stiff neck”… Notice on the gates of the Tennis World Cup. The owner of the Angels, Arturo Moreno, the son of Mexicans, has announced several times that the team is for sale. But at the hour of the hour, he doesn’t sell. A friend of the Angel Stadium offices explained to me yesterday: “When Arturo says he’s going to sell the Angels, he really thinks about selling them, but in the end his love for the baseball. Honestly, I think he will never leave the club, because he is his toy ”. A toy that has produced two thousand 316 million dollars in the last 20 years. Simple, he bought them from Disney in May 2003, for 184 million and “Forbes” has just valued them at 2.5 billion, even though they haven’t reached a postseason eight years ago. Arturo has shown anxiety to win. He had Albert Pujols on his roster, paying him up to 30 million per season; He now has, since 2019, Mike Trout, signed until 2030, when the man will have turned 39, for $37,116,667 per year; and will pay Shohei Ohtani 30 million for this 2023, after which the Japanese can become a free agent. And now he has said publicly that he wanted to sign Trea Turner, until his general manager, Perry Minasian, convinced him that To get into October 2023, they need other ballplayers. Moreno himself revealed on Wednesday: “I asked, how about Turner, isn’t he what we need, or do we need something more than him? Minasian told me: We can invest the money that he would take alone, in two or three players.”Trea Turner, who will turn 30 in June, and free from the Dodgers, finally signed with the Phillies, for 27 million 272 thousand 727 dollars annually, until 2033. In 2022, with Trout, Ohtani and the others, the Angels finished with 73 wins and 89 losses, a horrible record for a team that was considered a contender. But the biggest attraction of the major baseball businessmen today, is how much the value of franchises increases. The Yankees, acquired by George Steinbrenner in 1973, for 10 million dollars, are now worth, according to “Forbes”, seven billion. “Torturer is that who goes around saying to hypochondriacs, but how good you look!”… Joey Adams How is your wife doing with the piano? Oh! I try to convince her to play the saxophoneonAnd why is that? Because that way he won’t be able to sing. Thanks to life that has given me so much, even a reader like you
