From lease to sale: A timeline of a tumultuous year off the field for the Orioles

John Angelos has been the designated control person of the Orioles since November 2020, taking over due to his father’s declining health. He led the team through a pandemic, a lockout and multiple 100-loss seasons. No year, though, was as daunting as the last. The team is heading off to new hands now, with the sale of a controlling stake to billionaire David Rubenstein and his partners formally announced Wednesday.
