Let me tell you something about Arte Moreno's latest comments - they're not just tone-deaf, they're insulting to everyone who loves this game.

The Los Angeles Angels owner reportedly suggested that Angels fans don't prioritize winning, and according to The Athletic, both players and the MLBPA "took notice" of those comments. Yeah, I bet they did.

This is the same owner who wasted Mike Trout's prime. The same owner who let Shohei Ohtani - a generational talent, a once-in-a-lifetime player - walk away to the Los Angeles Dodgers. And now he has the audacity to suggest fans don't care about winning?

Angels fans care, Arte. They care deeply. What they don't care about is watching their owner pinch pennies while other franchises invest in championship rosters. They don't care about empty promises and wasted opportunities. They don't care about being told they don't care.

This is exactly the kind of owner mentality that drives fans crazy. You've got one of the best players in baseball history in Trout, you had arguably the most talented player the game has ever seen in Ohtani, and what did you do with that? Nothing. No playoffs. No rings. Just excuses.

The fact that players and the union are paying attention tells you everything you need to know. When ownership publicly suggests that fans don't value winning, what message does that send to free agents? What message does that send to current players?

Angels fans deserve better than this. They've shown up year after year, watching their team squander generational talent while ownership talks about everything except building a winner. That's not a fanbase problem - that's an ownership problem.

If Arte Moreno really believes Angels fans don't care about winning, then he's even more out of touch than we thought. And that's saying something.
