O's Have Budget Concerns
The Washington Times has obtained an April 29 memo from John Angelos, son of Orioles owner Peter Angelos, in which he asked the club's business/administration, communications, corporate sales and sponsorship, sales and fan services and ballpark operations departments to review operations and propose budget cuts of 10-20%.
Thom Loverro speculates that Angelos may be positioning to sell the club after MLB announces the Expos' destination. One scenario has the Expos moving to Washington, with Angelos receiving a one-time compensation payment of approximately $50 million and then selling the Orioles.
