When reached for comment John Angelos had this to say...

Yuck.


I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

I'm sure all the proceeds will be promptly reinvested into the team!

The Rolling Stones concert in 2025 should be a great time!

Naming the field is way less of an issue to me than the stadium.

They had to pay for that massive contract they handed out to Adam Frazier somehow.

 

Seriously, I don't care that much.  I am surprised the Orioles have not sold the name years ago. 

 

Sell the name and sign the damn extension.

If you are concerned about the O's leaving, does this help alleviate those worries?

Not even a little bit. Someone savage enough to move a team like this wouldn’t be savage enough to get a sponsor on false pretenses?

When the lease is signed, I’ll stop worrying.

I'm not one of those people, but I don't see the connection.  Its not like they can move the field.

Connection is that it's likely to be a decade long deal. 

Some people are worried about the O's leaving in a year. 
Yes, in theory the O's could sign a decade long sponsorship, and leave a year later, breaking the deal....  but another interpretation would be they are looking for an extended sponsorship deal, because they are going to be here.

Maybe some, but it amazes me that there is this big pile of money at the Orioles doorstep, and they are dragging their feet.   I won't feel good about it, until they sign the new lease.

The Frederick Keys did this a few years ago, and look what happened to them.

I f***ing hate this.

I don't want the Orioles to play at D.C. Ameritrade park at Camden Yards or whatever it will be. This was one of the few things the team ever did right.

I'm sure the sponsorship money would massively boost the payroll. Now, time to do some research on the team that plays at PNC Park.

Just a greedy, awful family.

I'm far less worried about the prospect of the team being moved, than I am about the prospect of the team remaining under the ownership of anyone named Angelos... first name Peter, John, Lou, or Georgia... or any other first name either...
