Arte Moreno has reached a definitive agreement to sell a controlling interest in the Los Angeles Angels to Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), led by Stan Kroenke. The transaction, which includes the franchise and its regional broadcast network, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027 pending Major League Baseball approval.

While financial terms remain undisclosed, reports value the sale between $4 billion and $4.5 billion. Recent updates indicate the $4 billion valuation would represent a record for a Major League Baseball team. Following the acquisition, Kroenke reportedly intends to prioritize building a new $2.5 billion ballpark to replace the current Angel Stadium. 

Upon completion of the deal, Stan Kroenke will become the first owner to control franchises in all five major U.S. men’s professional sports leagues simultaneously, adding the Angels to a portfolio that includes the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, the NBA’s Denver Nuggets, the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, and MLS’s Colorado Rapids. Arte Moreno is expected to remain a minority owner in the club following the transaction.

The sale follows a period of instability for the franchise, including a previous attempt to sell the stadium that was disrupted by a corruption scandal in Anaheim city hall. The move has been met with optimism from players; three-time AL MVP Mike Trout described the acquisition as a “fresh start” for the organization.
