On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

The Los Angeles Angels have been under a dark cloud of sorts and it all started when they tragically lost the late Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart on April 8, 2009 hours after pitching against the Oakland A’s in a car crash.

Then on Jul 1, 2019 the Angels lost pitcher Tyler Skaggs due to an oxycodone overdose after Angels media relations assistant Eric Kaye provided the pills for Skaggs.

Anaheim Mayor Henry Sidhu had to resign over corruption regarding the Anaheim Stadium deal in trying to get campaign contributions for the stadium deal.

When Angels superstar Albert Pujols was released by the team May 6, 2021 the departure was not that all diplomatic and it was reported that he got into a verbal altercation with then general manager Perry Minasian over the release. Pujols joined the Los Angeles Dodgers after leaving the Angels.

Minasian would later fire manager Joe Maddon when the team was in the middle of a 12 game losing streak.

The Angels star outfielder Mike Trout developed back spasms which later doctors called costovertebral dysfunction at T5.

The future superstar Shohei Ohtani was in question around the All Star break as to whether he would stay or not but Ohtani made it clear he likes the Southland and remained with the Halos. Ohtani could option to leave next season.

Owner Arte Moreno 76 said he spoke with his family about selling the team, he will leave baseball but will continue with his billboard advertising business.
