“John intends to maintain absolute control over the Orioles — to manage, to sell, or, if he chooses, to move to Tennessee (where he has a home and where his wife’s career is headquartered) — without having to answer to anyone,” according to the lawsuit.

Great. This is such an Orioles thing to do.

The two writers are both from the Sun.Justin Fenton wrote the book for the HBO series "We Own This City".

Interesting if the Baltimore Banner actually don't treat the Orioles like they are their pr reps.

Well Nashville couldn’t land an expansion team so John Angelos turned the O’s into one. Literally. I guess now we know when Elias will be able to spend. Get the payroll low and stock the system with top draft picks.

If John Angelos moves the team, I will stop watching baseball completely as much as it would break my heart.

Ho boy. Really the last thing you want to read when you feel they finally might be turning a corner.

This is a bombshell story. Bombshell

So I take it that we have Lou suing John+Mom?

Can't read the tweet here at work, will be heading home shortly and read it then.

Roch and Steve will be right on it.

MLB has to approve ownership, right?   I *think* that despite Manfred's faults, they still want to keep MLB in Baltimore and OPACY.   So in addition to a lawsuit among the heirs, Peter Angelos still being alive for who knows how long, and the MASN dispute, there is MLB that might step in at some point.

This could get really messy but some dirty laundry will certainly get aired in public.

Just when you thought the last five years wasn’t bad enough.

Yes.

Louis Angelos, 52, of Baltimore County, sued his brother and mother Thursday in Baltimore County Circuit Court. He claims his father intended for the two brothers to control the team equally, but that John has grabbed power.

I’m not worried about them moving.

This is right out of a soap opera.
