[MaoTosiFanClub]

Moreno selling the Angels at same time is interesting timing.

This story could have had a much worse ending. I'm glad Robert Sarver took this road.

 

[Mainstreet]

Just like that, the narrative has changed. Of course, finding a new owner will be of utmost importance.

 

[Covert Rain]

Sarver is a classic narcissist. He probably cannot honestly fathom that 18 years of chances was enough and he blew it. To say that the climate is unforgiving is hilariously void of any self-reflection on his part.

I really just want a good owner but honestly? I think it would go a long way if the new owner or majority owner is a person of color. I think it would be the fastest way to recover the teams reputation. A woman owner would be awesome too.

I am listening now but the one thing that is unclear is how this works. Is he just selling his ownership stake or does his contract allow him to sell off the entire state and split the profits with the existing owners. They are talking about that now. They are saying that if an owner with deep pockets wants to buy the team outright, they may not want an ownership group or may want to form their own. Nobody seems sure how this works.

Wow. Herm gone...Sarver gone...what a great week! Wasn't Bob Iger intrested in buying the suns at one point? A billionaire owner would be absolutely amazing for this franchise. These are exciting times!

 

[Raindog]

My fellow Suns fans, our long national nightmare is over!

Well, not quite national. And not quite over yet, until he actually sells. But it has been a nightmare, for sure.

 

[TJ]

I’m so aroused right now

Oh my lord… Bob Iger would be a damn fantasy dream!

 

[Covert Rain]

This is up there for me with Bidwill Senior turning over the reins to his son.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Oh my lord… Bob Iger would be a damn fantasy dream!

It's going to be a billionaire no matter what...the Sarvers/Bidwills/Kendricks ain't getting at this table.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Moreno selling the Angels at same time is interesting timing.

His track record with the Angels is not encouraging.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now, hopefully we can all look forward to media day and training camp without this being a major distraction.

 

[TJ]

Moreno selling the Angels at same time is interesting timing.

No. Just, no.

 

[Covert Rain]

Now, hopefully we can all look forward to media day and training camp without this being a major distraction.

It will be better but now a ton of questions will come up about who they would like to see buy the team.

 

[Lefty]

Christmas has arrived early! I hope they get an owner who players want to play for. A guy who is in it to win and not just to make money.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

Apparently he only owns 1/3. I wonder if its better to have 1 super rich owner then dilluted shares like that when youre hoping for some salary tax…

 

[Covert Rain]

CONFIRMED! He did paint himself as a victim.

[puckhead]

Delighted to hear the news. LOL at Sarver's victimhood. Poor guy just never got the break he needed.

Umm, any chance Alex Meruelo can raise the cash for this? Suns and Yotes back together again? So many questions.

 

[Mainstreet]

How the Suns are sold will be something to watch.

Lol, my guess is the Suns can scrape up about 100 options before they'd even consider Meruelo.

 

[Muggz]

Ugh the Seattle Suns is such a stupid name.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Can Bidwill be next?

We can only hope.

It's a pity the estate tax was gutted so much.
