On Tuesday, the baseball world was shocked to learn that longtime Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno had agreed to sell the franchise to Stan Kroenke, and fans of the Halos are ecstatic. After cries from the fanbase to sell the team, Moreno did just that — and to someone who has a pedigree of winning. Is the future bright for Angels fans?

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the $4 billion deal that sees the owner of the Los Angeles Rams, Arsenal FC, the Denver Nuggets and other professional franchises take over a bewildered baseball team that has been longing for success. They highlight some of Kroenke’s championship wins, whether the Angels will remain in Anaheim and what the future could mean for franchise star Mike Trout.

Later on the show, Jake and Jordan welcome former MLB player and current broadcaster Ryan Spilborghs to talk about the exciting Friday Night Baseball watch-along on Apple TV that the guys will be doing starting this Friday. Ryan then talks about his time playing in Japan, why the Seattle Mariners are such a disappointment and the incredible game-saving catch by Colton Cowser. The guys then end the show by talking about the latest in the Los Angeles Dodgers-Mark Walter situation, the San Diego Padres calling up top prospect Ethan Salas and the Baltimore Orioles claiming Luis Robert Jr. from the New York Mets.
