If we could trade Angelos/ownership...

Unless a team is willing to open their books to public scrutiny I refuse to believe they are operating at a loss or break even level.

The Marlins are supposedly losing money yet they just sold for 1.2B.

Do you think Angelos would specifically write John out of a controlling interest in the team?

 

I have no way of knowing, of course, but it has happened. Again, John Cooke fully expected to take over the Redskins operation when Jack Kent Cooke died. Daddy had other plans. 

But no, I assume John Angelos will assume Peter's roll as Grand Poobah of Orioleland. I just think he's got a much better baseball mind (not that I've heard much of Peter's thinking). And I definitely think he's more in tune with the modern game and players. 

I just wish PA would retire now, as in getting 100% out of baseball operations. If he's behind this whole Manny debacle, he really needs to be moved to the porch.

They have all these people fooled I mean just look at the book at the top of the page explaining every single way the team is so broke and on the verge of total collapse. Angelos is a genius, he has brainwashed an entire city and made them completely erase large chunks of years totally from existence, while believing MASN is just a financial anchor and makes them nothing either. All after extorting MLB and the Nats for hundreds upon hundreds of millions in PERPETUITY!! . Never seen anything like it. This is the guy who should have a statue built, and I have no doubt there would be people praying at the feet of it before every game showing their undying love and respect for this man who bought the team as a charitable donation for the city.

I’d trade Angelos for a fetus to be named later.

If we could trade Angelos and get someone like Bisciotti, i'd trade away my fertility, an arm and a leg for new ownership who is on board with analytic approaches.
