Los Angeles Angels Called "Least Improved Team", Arte Moreno FINALLY Getting Blamed? Bally Sports Troubles and Effect on Halos' Spending
01/17/24 • 37 min
The Los Angeles Angels were named this offseason's "Least Improved Team" by Bleacher Report, and probably to nobody's surprise. What was a pleasant surprise, however, at least for us Super Halo Bros., was that the graphic showed Arte Moreno's face as the main focus. This got us to ask, is it finally catching on that the problem with the Halos has been Arte Moreno? Angel fans know it, Locked On Everydayers know it, but is it finally catching on with the national media? In segment 1, we'll talk about why this is an important step in the right direction as the narrative becomes more pointed toward Moreno and company.
Then, in segment 2, we'll explain what the recent word is with Bally Sports and its parent owner, Diamond Sports Group, and how it relates to the Angels payroll and where we might be watching our team this season. Mike and Jon share what's going on, the important hearing taking place on January 19th, and what it might mean for the broadcasting of MLB teams in 2024.
Plus, when the Angels do get their answer on how much Bally Sports will pay them for the broadcast rights, will that finally inspire them to pay the money to make a move? Is it too little, too late? Will Arte pull a classic "rage spending" move? We'll discuss in segment 3!

Will Washington's management be the key to helping Anthony Rendon return to his productive ways, and if so, how? Will Reid Detmers benefit from being in a 5-man rotation and having a more set schedule? Plus, how did every player on the Angels seem to know that Shohei Ohtani was leaving, but the front office didn't? We'll get into all of it on today's Locked On Angels!
