Hovering in Anaheim

Sheryl Ring details the one year extension reached between the Angels and Anaheim to keep them in the stadium through 2020. They hope that gives them time to reach a longer-term deal.

So despite how the deal has been framed – as a way for the two sides to buy time to reach a more long-lasting arrangement – this extension is no guarantee that an agreement will, in fact, be reached. And most interestingly, the one-year extension keeps open the possibility that the team could consider a jump outside of California – particularly given the recent development that Portland may be ready for a major league team as soon as 2022.

I suspect the Angels will do much better continuing in Anaheim than moving to Portland.
