Hamilton return to Angels is uncertainANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno isn’t certain Josh Hamilton will play for the team again after his latest relapse into substance abuse.Moreno also said the outfielder’s contract contains language protecting the team against a relapse by Hamilton, apparently contradicting his previous statements.The players’ association later issued a statement denying Moreno’s claims.Moreno spoke briefly to reporters on the field at Angel Stadium before the club’s home opener against Kansas City.When asked if Hamilton definitely would play again for Los Angeles, Moreno replied: “I will not say that.”Moreno’s comments are the latest development in an uncomfortable divide between the Angels and Hamilton, a five-time All-Star who hasn’t come close to justifying his $125 million contract in his first two seasons.
