Angels news: Arte Moreno, Shohei Ohtani, more

Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno has pulled the club off the market and he's no longer interested in selling the team. This comes as a huge shock as there were reportedly at least five potential investors and it was expected to sell for some amount of around $2.5 to $3 billion dollars.

This is a big blow to Angels fans who wanted to see change at the top. The Halos have not had a winning record since 2015, have not made the postseason since 2014, and have not won a playoff game since 2009. Moreno isn't the only person to blame for this incompetence, but it does start at the top.

What does the Moreno news mean for Shohei Ohtani? Should he get traded? Do the Angels have a better shot at retaining him?
