Five months after owner Arte Moreno declared "now is the time," the Los Angeles Angels announced Monday that the franchise is, in fact, not for sale.
The Angels released a statement on behalf of the Moreno family announcing the decision:
"During this process, it became clear that we have unfinished business and feel we can make a positive impact on the future of the team and the fan experience," the statement reads. " ... As discussions advanced and began to crystalize, we realized our hearts remain with the Angels, and we are not ready to part ways with the fans, players and employees.
