The Angels didn't make any long-term commitments. All their free agent activity was limited to one year, with no individual player making more than $5MM."
"Neto told Shaikin he 'really (doesn't) have an answer to that' when asked if Moreno's comments would be a concern for him in extension talks. However, he spoke broadly about valuing loyalty and said he'd be amenable to a long-term deal. 'If it happens, it happens. I would love to stay here.'"
"The Angels terminated their local television deal with Main Street Sports this offseason, subtracting an important revenue source. MLB is handling their in-market distribution this year."
Zach Neto and the Angels agreed to a $4.15MM arbitration settlement in January, covering his first year of arbitration eligibility after reaching Super Two status. The Angels made no official long-term contract offers to Neto during the offseason, and their free agent activity was limited to one-year deals with no player exceeding $5MM. Owner Arte Moreno's recent comments suggesting fans don't prioritize winning have drawn criticism. Neto expressed openness to a long-term deal if offered, valuing loyalty to the organization. The Angels' financial situation was further complicated by terminating their local television deal with Main Street Sports, eliminating a significant revenue source.
