Overview
- Owner Arte Moreno said the team expects clarity on its regular-season broadcast partner in five to seven days, noting, “We’ll be on TV,” but that the process “hasn’t been easy.”
- Main Street Sports missed payments and entered bankruptcy proceedings, leading the Angels to terminate their deal as six peer clubs shifted production to MLB while Los Angeles has not yet done so.
- For now, regular-season games will be available on MLB.tv and prior cable/satellite outlets are likely to carry games, though the producer and revenue terms remain unresolved.
- The Angels’ 2026 payroll is estimated at about $180.5 million, down from roughly $206 million in 2025, which Moreno linked to reduced local TV revenue; the club also deferred Anthony Rendon’s $38 million via a buyout spread over five years.
- The team settled the Tyler Skaggs civil case for an undisclosed amount that Moreno said has “zero” effect on operations, he reiterated he is not selling the club, and his survey-based claim that winning is not a top-five fan priority drew public criticism.
