There are lots of people annoyed that Arte Moreno has decided against selling the Los Angeles Angels. I don’t think you can count Mets owner Steve Cohen as one of them.
Moreno sticking around makes it less likely for an extension to get done with Shohei Ohtani before he hits free agency next winter. And, who knows, if the Angels are out of contention by summer, maybe the two-way superstar will actually be available on the trade market (but for a king’s ransom, I’m sure).
We’ve heard rumblings about teams getting ready to pursue Ohtani.
