Baltimore Orioles are already going through a poor run in the current season. Instead of taking some excellent steps to bring the team back on the winning track, the Orioles have a bigger problem to get rid of.
The Angelos family has been the owner of the Baltimore Orioles for over 100 years (1903). The 93-year-old Peter Angelos is the owner of the MLB franchise. But after 2017, Peter Angelos’ sons, John Angelos and Louis, and his wife, Georgia, became the controlling owner of the Orioles.

“The corrupting effect of John’s actions has been to thoroughly frustrate Mr. Angelos’ intentions,” the suit said. “John intends to maintain absolute control over the Orioles — to manage, to sell or, if he chooses, to move to Tennessee… without having to answer to anyone.”
Per a report from The Athletic, Louis has also blamed his brother for manipulating their 80-year-old mother to help him take over the Baltimore Orioles.
