The deal, which is expected to close in early 2027, marks the latest addition to Kroenke's diverse portfolio of sports teams. Besides leading the NFL's Los Angeles Rams, Arsenal in the English Premier League, the NBA's Denver Nuggets, and the NHL's Colorado Avalanche, Kroenke now owns Major League Soccer's Colorado Rapids. With this purchase, the Angels' 20-year tenure under Moreno's ownership will come to a close.",
