Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m quite a new angels fan. I see a lot of posts and comments about how much much people hate Arte Moreno and I’m just curious about the backstory. What has he done and why is that the reason that the angels are doing poorly?

Bonus questions: Why are baseball contracts so long? (Compared to sports like basketball) Would Shohei be able to sign a shorter contract with the angels if he wanted to give it one last shot?
