Angels prospect’s severe health challenges should spur Arte Moreno into action

The Los Angeles Angels have an image problem that is mostly of their own making. It was not their fault (probably) that Mike Trout's body fell apart and Anthony Rendon being a disaster was mostly a problem with him, but losing Shohei Ohtani exposed a long-standing wound within the organization that has festered thanks to mismanagement and meddling from owner Arte Moreno.

As a result, it is hardly surprising that Moreno is unpopular with Angels fans and really baseball fans and experts everywhere. In an era where more and more owners have put their egos aside and (mostly) have given their front offices the resources they need to do their jobs, Moreno has stood among those that resist paying for even basic player development resources and who meddle in personnel decisions.
