On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys break down the Angels’ new era under Stan Kroenke. With Kroenke purchasing the franchise for a staggering price, Angels fans finally have reason to be excited about an owner with the resources—and willingness—to spend. But money alone won’t fix everything. The boys tackle Kroenke’s growing to-do list: Who should run his front office? What happens with Mike Trout? And is it time to clean house throughout the organization and rebuild the Angels from the ground up? From the Angels’ future to their former superstar, the boys turn their attention to Shohei Ohtani, who is battling an injury as the Dodgers face a difficult decision. With Ohtani already not expected to pitch until the postseason, should Los Angeles shut him down and make sure he’s healthy for October, or allow him to continue hitting as he chases another MVP? The conversation also turns toward the bigger picture: What will the back half of Ohtani’s 30s look like? Can he continue defying Father Time, or could his decline resemble other all-time greats like Miguel Cabrera and Alex Rodriguez? Later, journalist and author A.M. Gittlitz joins the boys to discuss his new book, Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People's Team. Gittlitz dives into New York’s rich baseball history, the cultural and class dynamics surrounding the game, and also gives his thoughts on the current state of the Mets. Afterwards, the boys round out the show with the second-to-last Fantasy Factory of the season and Collection Corner!
