They are in a window where the Dodgers are down and the Angels could grab some big market share in terms of fans and media. It's an opportunity for them. They also have some big revenue streams.

OTOH, unless you can continue to find star players to drive your lineup, that period of time when Pujols is 35+ and declining as his salary eats up a huge percentage of payroll is going to be tough to eat. And I don't think he's a guy who will stay productive at this level for five years.
