Ownership that spends blindly on the shiniest players on the market without any thought toward actual roster needs or team chemistry and completely squandering superstars as a result?

Yeah, I can see the comparison lol

As someone who is familiar with the rules of baseball but not a dedicated fan, what is the importance of team chemistry in baseball in general (it seems like baseball, more than most other team sports, is closer to the whole being exactly a sum of its parts because individual players don't interact a whole bunch) and how specifically are the Angels mismanaging their roster?

When personalities clash, morale drops and everybody plays worse.

It’s the same in every team sport.

It's arguable between Trout and Judge for #2 but Ohtani is the undisputed best player in baseball

Probably only last season, lot of respect for Judge but he’s gonna need to ball out insanely with his new contract to be anywhere near Trout’s level

Judge has been the most valuable player in MLB since he debuted in 2017. He's been worth more than trout since that time. Trout is an all time great but he missed a lot of time since then and Judge has been so productive even before last year. He most definitely is near trouts level right now despite not being near him on the list of greatest players ever.
