Lacob grew up in Orange County and said there’s an “attraction” to the Angels, but he said it would be easier for him to buy one of the teams in the Bay Area, if either were for sale.

“It’s an older stadium that’s been around for a long time, but I always felt there were great possibilities,” Lacob said. “L.A. is a huge market and it’s part of that L.A. overall market. And they have drawn over 3 million fans I think 17 out of the last 20 years. So we’re going to look at it. It wouldn’t be the easiest thing in the world to do, because it is not co-located like, perhaps a local baseball team might be. But it may be doable. We’ll see.

Angels owner Arte Moreno announced in August that he would explore a sale of the franchise he’s owned since 2003. Last month at the Winter Meetings, Commissioner Rob Manfred said that interested parties were looking at the financial data. Manfred said the Angels were hopeful a sale could be completed by Opening Day, but it remained to be seen if the bidding process could be completed that quickly.
