Arte Moreno, the owner of the Angels, has confirmed his decision not to sell the team and plans to "set the budget lower" in 2024. In an interview with the SCNG, Moreno outlined his financial strategy, which includes not reviving talks for Angel Stadium renovations due to a lack of interest from Anaheim, and mentioned that renovations at Tempe would commence after spring training ends. This decision comes despite previous announcements that construction would start after last spring, which did not materialize, marking now their 4th spring training on the minor league side. Moreno's stance, including his refusal to accept an offer from Shohei Ohtani's camp and having "used the offseason savings on nobody," raises questions about the franchise's direction.
