The Los Angeles Angels are looking into the possibility of selling the team.

"Although this difficult decision was entirely our choice and deserved a great deal of thoughtful consideration, my family and I have come to the conclusion that now is the time."

He bought the team for $180 million.

The Angels have enlisted the services of Galatioto Sports Partners. Sportico values the team at over $2 billion.

If the Angels are put up for sale, there will be two Major League Baseball teams playing at the same time. The highest-profile recent deal was Steve Cohen's purchase of the New York Mets.

The 2002 World Series was won by the Angels. Shohei Ohtani is a Japanese player who can pitch, hit and play outfielder. The team is in fourth place in the American League West, 25 games behind the Astros.

The team plays in Anaheim, which is close to Los Angeles. The sale of the stadium caused the mayor to resign.
