Shohei Ohtani won’t say anything publicly, but it’s very unlikely he re-signs with the Angels this offseason.
After being with the Los Angeles Angels for seven years, he wants to play for a winner. During his tenure with the Los Angeles Angels, they didn’t even reach the postseason once.
From Japan, Ohtani would like to play for a West Coast team, but he wants to win more than choosing a team because of its geography. Many baseball experts think Ohtani probably will choose the Los Angeles Dodgers to sign a contract with.
Over at The Athletic, though, former MLB GM Jim Bowden said that he’s heard Ohtani will prioritize winning over anything — even geography.
