Angels sold to Rams, Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke

John Mozeliak

LAA General Manager

Player Stats

The Angels are being sold to Los Angeles Rams and Denver Nuggets owner Stan Korenke, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Wow. The reign of Arte Moreno is over, or at least will be in the first quarter of 2027. There was no word that the Angels were again up for sale. Moreno put the team on the market in Aug. 2022, but with no suitable offers, he announced five months later than he’d keep the club. The sale seems like great news for Angels fans. Kroenke hasn’t been quite as generous with the Nuggets’ finances as some would like, but his teams, which also include the Colorado Avalanche, certainly tend to have more success than the Angels have enjoyed.

The Angels announced that general manager Perry Minasian has been relieved of his duties.

The Angels hired former Cardinals’ general manager John Mozeliak as a Baseball Operations Consultant and he’ll serve as the interim general manager for the Angels until Minasian’s replacement is named. The Angels noted that Mozeliak will “oversee the day-to-day baseball operations for the Angels while refining a baseball operations strategy and assisting the organization in a search for a new general manager.”
John Mozeliak

LAA General Manager

Cardinals signed president of baseball operations John Mozeliak to a two-year contract extension through 2025.

The contract extension, which was first reported by Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Monday evening, is now official. Mozeliak has been with the Cardinals organization since 1996. He rose to become St. Louis’ general manager in 2007 and has served as the club’s president of baseball operations since 2017. He’s been at the helm for 15 consecutive winning seasons in St. Louis and will remain with the club for two additional seasons through 2025.
John Mozeliak

LAA General Manager

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that the Cardinals and president of baseball operations John Mozeliak have reached an agreement on a two-year contract extension.

The deal will keep the 54-year-old executive in St. Louis through at least the 2025 season. Mozeliak came to the organization in 1995 and spent seven seasons working in the scouting department and then five as the assistant general manager to Walt Jocketty. Mozeliak then took over as the interim general manager when Jocketty left after the 2007 season -- serving in that capacity until he was promoted to his current title in June of 2017. He led the Cardinals to a World Series title in 2011 and a National League Pennant in 2013. The Cardinals are expected to formally announce the deal on Tuesday.
Michael Girsch

STL General Manager

According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals have signed general manager Michael Girsch to a multi-year contract extension.

Cardinals assistant general manager and director of scouting Randy Flores has also received a new multi-year contract extension. Girsch has served as the Cardinals general manager since 2017 and was in the final year of his current contract. The pair will continue working with Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak.

Cardinals president of baseball operations told reporters on Thursday that there’s a good chance the team will be able to play this weekend.

Mozeliak did confirm that Friday’s game has been postponed, and that a doubleheader against the White Sox has been scheduled for Saturday. He mentioned that the medical staff wanted to buy one more day. He also confirmed that the team will play doubleheaders on Monday and Wednesday against the Cubs to make up for the lost time. Much of the decisions will be determined by testing on Thursday, but if it does come back clean, it sounds like St. Louis will be playing baseball for the first time since July 29.

Shohei Ohtani was available to pinch-hit Sunday and is expected back in Monday’s lineup versus the Reds.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani would have hit for Alex Call in the eighth Sunday night had there been any runners on base at the time. As it turned out, there wasn’t, so Call got to hit for himself with none on and two outs. He singled, Tommy Edman walked and then Mookie Betts hit a three-run homer, giving the Dodgers a 7-5 lead that stood up against the Nationals. Barring something strange, Ohtani will DH and hit in the leadoff spot Monday.

Orlando Ribalta was unavailable Sunday because of right forearm discomfort.

It sounds like Ribalta will go on the IL, probably for the rest of the season. He’d been one of the Nationals’ most reliable relievers since being recalled at the beginning of May, amassing a 3.77 ERA in 43 innings. The extent of the injury will likely dictate whether he sticks on the 40-man roster this winter.

Mookie Betts had a three-run homer and an RBI groundout in leading the Dodgers to a 7-5 win over the Nationals on Monday.

Betts’ homer off Will Dion came in the eighth and accounted for the final three runs of the game. He’s hitting .303 with five homers, eight doubles and 22 RBI in his last 25 games, raising his season OPS from .674 to .731.

Justin Wrobleski surrendered four runs in three-plus innings Sunday night in his start versus the Nationals.

All of the runs came in the fourth, when Wrobleski gave up a homer and then four more hits before being pulled. The Dodgers would rather be using Wrobleski as a reliever right now, but between Shohei Ohtani’s setback and Roki Sasaki and Eric Lauer landing on the IL, they’re lacking alternatives. They might go to Gavin Stone in this spot next weekend, assuming that he’s healthy after being scratched from his last Triple-A outing.

Bobby Miller recorded a win in his return to the majors after allowing one run in three innings Sunday night against the Nationals.

Good for Miller, who was making his first MLB appearance since May 24, 2025. It was his first win since Aug. 20, 2024. The one run he allowed came when he grazed Dylan Crews with a rain-slicked curveball in his first inning of work, forcing in a run. He retired seven in a row afterwards, though he did need Kyle Tucker to rob Harry Ford of a homer to pull that off. It’d be nice to see him stick around after this, but the Dodgers might swap him out in order to recall Emmet Sheehan prior to Monday’s game.

Edgardo Henriquez pitched a hitless ninth for his second save Sunday versus the Nationals.

Tanner Scott had the night off after working three of the previous four days. Henriquez averaged 101.5 mph with his seven fastballs tonight. His last 13 appearances have seen him allow two hits, walk two and strike out 18 in 11 1/3 innings.

Andrew Alvarez yielded three runs in 4 1/3 innings Sunday night versus the Dodgers.

Alvarez allowed one run through four before giving up a leadoff single and an RBI double with one out in the fifth. That was enough to get him pulled, and Brad Lord came in and allowed the inherited runner to score. Alvarez did yield three runs or fewer for a seventh straight start, but with the early exits, he hasn’t won any of those. He’ll take on the Angels next weekend.

CJ Abrams delivered his 30th homer Sunday in a losing cause against the Dodgers.

Abrams hit a 415-foot homer off Justin Wrobleski to begin the fourth inning. He’s the 15th different shortstop to hit 30 homers in a season at age 25 or younger. Colson Montgomery has also done it this year. The other active players to pull it off are Francisco Lindor (three times), Manny Machado, Trevor Story, Fernando Tatis Jr., Bobby Witt Jr. (twice) and Gunnar Henderson.

Harry Ford doubled in two runs and walked twice against the Dodgers on Sunday night.

And his best at-bat was his lone out, which saw Kyle Tucker reach over the wall in right to rob him of a home run to right field. Ford is hitting .200/.319/.398 through 94 plate appearances. He seems ready to split time behind the plate with Keibert Ruiz next year.

Yankees optioned RHP Elmer Rodríguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Rodríguez, who is 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA in six starts for the Yankees, was available in relief this weekend but went unused. He’ll likely be replaced by a more traditional reliever on Tuesday.
