Why the Latest MLB Ownership Vote Update Leaves the Angels in Limbo

Stan Kroenke’s proposed $4 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Angels will not be up for an MLB ownership vote at the November 16 meeting, sources confirmed, extending the club’s uncertainty. Interim GM John Mozeliak had said the sale would be on the agenda, but Jeff Fletcher of the OC Register reported league officials confirmed it was pushed back to at least mid-December. With free agency underway and the trade market open, Mozeliak remains in place to keep things moving, though MLB transition rules limit major front-office actions before the sale is ratified. That also affects who the Angels can contact.
