Feb 19, 2017 11:23 PM

Owner Arte Moreno is committed to long-term improvements to both the Los Angeles Angels' roster and their venerable stadium.

The Angels will remain in Angel Stadium until at least 2029, Moreno said Saturday, after their entire roster reported to Arizona for the first full workout of spring.

Moreno also believes the Angels will soon be in better financial shape to pursue baseball's top players this year and beyond, boosting their chances of building a winner around two-time AL MVP Mike Trout.
