The Los Angeles Angels, like everyone else, are eagerly awaiting the decision of two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani regarding his free agency. Although it has long been anticipated that Ohtani would leave the team this offseason, he might return.
The Angels are one of the four teams still in the running for Ohtani, according to ESPN’s MLB insider Jeff Passan. This is significant because it indicates that Ohtani cherishes his time with the Halos.
“Among those who are reportedly still in the running are the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, Toronto Blue Jays, and Angels,” according to sources.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, Ohtani’s cross-town rivals, are still probably the favourites, but the Angels still have a chance. That’s great that he hasn’t ruled them out.
You cannot place a value on Ohtani’s comfort level during his time with the Angels. Over the years, he essentially did whatever he pleased with the team, and perhaps he isn’t ready to give that up.
The Angels’ biggest argument against him is that they haven’t produced any wins in his tenure. They haven’t even had a successful season or advanced to the postseason.
Ohtani may not get the opportunity to succeed at the highest level from the Angels, something he has long craved. For this reason, a lot of people think that he will actually leave the team during the offseason; however, they are still in the running.
After everything, it’s unclear if he’ll rejoin the Angels, but supporters can hope. Should he decide to rejoin, it’s probably only for a brief period of time to test the Halos’ ability to improve.
