Angels Out, But New Ownership In | Los Angeles Angels News

The Angels are officially out of the 2026 playoff race, becoming the first AL team to get mathematically eliminated — but this loss marks a turning point. Billionaire Stan Kroenke, owner of the Rams, Nuggets, and Arsenal, is set to buy the franchise for $4 billion, bringing championship pedigree and fresh investment. With few long-term financial burdens beyond Mike Trout, Kroenke has a clean slate to rebuild. Bright spots include a promising young pitching staff and a revitalized farm system. Even without postseason hopes, the team still has stakes: avoiding 100 losses for the first time in history and watching Trout chase individual glory — all while figuring out who fits into Kroenke’s bold new vision.
