How the LA Angels Became Baseball's Most Corrupt Team (#6)
In this episode, we turn to the world of sports to discuss how the Los Angeles of Anaheim, owned by businessman Arte Moreno, have slowly become baseball's most corrupt team. We examine how corruption within the team, its management, and its third parties have affected the team's performance on the field. The LA Angels, once destined to be a great team through the drafting of Mike Trout and signing of Shohei Ohtani, have now suffered losing seasons for 9 years straight.
