BREAKING NEWS: Angels Icon Tim Salmon Returns as Co-Owner in Monumental Move as Arte Moreno Family Brings Back Franchise Legend to Help Shape the Future of the Los Angeles Angels
In a stunning and emotional announcement that has rocked the baseball world, the Los Angeles Angels have officially welcomed back one of the most iconic players in franchise history—Tim Salmon—as a co-owner of the team starting in 2025.
The move was confirmed by the Arte Moreno family, marking a historic shift in the leadership structure of the Angels organization. Salmon, affectionately known as “King Fish” by fans, was the heart and soul of the Angels throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. He played his entire 14-year MLB career with the Halos, amassing 299 home runs, a Rookie of the Year title in 1993, and a pivotal role in bringing home the 2002 World Series championship.
Now, more than two decades after his final game, Salmon is returning—not to the batter’s box, but to the boardroom.
This bold move signals a new era for the Angels, with a clear intent to reconnect with the franchise’s roots while building a sustainable winning culture for the future. Salmon’s return as co-owner brings not only emotional resonance for the fanbase, but also a baseball-savvy mind deeply respected throughout the league.
Insiders suggest that Salmon will be heavily involved in player development, community outreach, and baseball operations, bringing a much-needed player-first perspective to ownership.
Angels fans, it’s a full-circle moment—Tim Salmon is back in Anaheim, and this time, he’s here to lead the charge from the top. The 2025 season just got a whole lot more exciting.
