Former Anaheim mayor Sidhu agreed to plead guilty to federal corruption crimes stemming from the failed sale of Angels Stadium and the surrounding parking lots.
Not only did Sidhu get recorded saying he was going to hit up the Angels for a cool million after the sale went through, he funneled inside information to his buddy Todd Ament who was an Angels consultant and CEO of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.
Last year Todd Ament pled guilty to a host of federal crimes related to fraud and is facing several decades in the clink.
Keeping in the theme of investigations, the Wander Franco investigation is being headed by a division that handles gender violence and crimes related to minors down in the DR.
The Franco case is really bizarre. Will we ever know the truth? That’s a pretty good read explaining a lot about this case and how badly the authorities in the DR lack credibility. It is very interesting to me that a google search for the person who broke the story comes up empty.
This might be as simple as Wander being a scumbag. Or it is a crazy story. We’ll see.
In better news, Reid Detmers was fantastic last night and the Angels beat Texas 2-0.
I’m soaking in as much Ohtani as I can right now. Enjoy this again.
