ANAHEIM, Calif. — Facing community pressure to delay or cancel the Angel Stadium sale amid a corruption investigation into Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu, the Angels on Friday gave the Anaheim City Council 25 days to grant final approval to the deal.
In a letter obtained by the Los Angeles Times that was sent on behalf of the Angels and SRB Management, and eventually made public, the development company led by Angels owner Arte Moreno, attorney Allan Abshez told the city that the team and SRB "have acted in good faith" and expect "that the parties will complete the transaction."
In concluding the letter, Abshez wrote: "SRB has met all its obligations and has every expectation that this transaction should move forward, and looks forward to the Council's final action no later than June 14, 2022."
