Al King

Arte Moreno’s legacy: – A decade-plus of meaningless baseball, 12 straight losing seasons – Turned Mike Trout’s career into baseball’s biggest “what if” – Managed to lose Shohei Ohtani after years of empty “all-in” moves – Lit hundreds of millions on fire with the Rendon, Pujols, Hamilton, and Wells disasters – Made Angel Stadium the final stop for washed contracts – Consistently ranked at the bottom in player development – Took 20 pitchers in one draft and somehow built nothing out of it – Built an organization whose negligence during the Tyler Skaggs era will forever define his ownership – Dropped the Kurt Suzuki announcement THE SAME DAY Trout testified in the Skaggs case to bury attention – Played a central role in the Anaheim stadium mess that ended with Mayor Harry Sidhu in prison – Let the stadium become infamous for filthy conditions and rat complaints – Repeatedly gambled on broken pitchers instead of building actual depth – Created a franchise permanently stuck between rebuilding and competing – Teased a sale of the team, then pulled the plug and left fans stuck in ownership purgatory – Took two once-in-a-generation talents and produced irrelevance – Prioritized land deals and marketing over sustainable baseball operations – Haven’t won a playoff game since 2009 – Turned one of baseball’s most promising franchises into a national punchline #FuckYouArte
