PHOENIX — On a day Arte Moreno made his first appearance at Angels spring training, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred shared his thoughts on the Angels owner and his decision to take the team off the market last month.
Speaking at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel as part of a Cactus League Media Day, Manfred called Moreno "a good steward for the game" who has "been a valued member of the ownership group."
"There's a lot of success that had been had there," Manfred said, highlighting the Angels' spending and previous run of years in which they drew over three million fans per season. "And I think a lot of the sort of negativity recently was a reflection back on the Angels, not a product of them doing anything inappropriate or improper."
