## Resource

Los Angeles Angels fans get their wish as billionaire owner Stan Kroenke acquires the team for a reported $4 billion, promising a new era for a franchise mired in a twelve-year playoff drought. Can the Angels, with stars like Mike Trout, finally break their postseason curse under an owner famed for recent championships with the Los Angeles Rams, Denver Nuggets, and Colorado Avalanche? Sully explores how Kroenke's winning pedigree could transform the team’s culture, address long-standing management woes, and offer Trout the stage he deserves. Stadium drama takes center stage as the Tampa Bay Rays secure key county approval for a new ballpark near Raymond James Stadium, while the Oakland Athletics' Las Vegas move gains momentum with real progress on their new domed stadium. Sully questions whether these developments signal lasting solutions for baseball’s most troubled franchises and ponders if ownership shakeups and stadium shifts can revive fan bases and fuel future expansion.
