The Angels, home of pitcher Shohei Ohtani, announced on the 23rd (24th Japan time) that owner Art Moreno has completed an investigation into selling the team and will continue to own the team beyond 2023.

I’m still the Angels Because it’s a team (I supports).”
Tim Salmon, who was nicknamed “Mr. Angel” for his 1,674 career hits, said he was “surprised in a good way” and shared his thoughts on Moreno’s owner. “I like him, I like what he did, and I support him.
