Shohei Ohtani Rumors: Angels Discussed Trade Scenarios with Teams Ahead of Deadline

The Los Angeles Angels have discussed "trade scenarios" with rival teams ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.

ESPN's Alden Gonzalez reported the impression outside Los Angeles is that an Ohtani trade may not be all that likely, though:

"Front-office sources throughout the industry said things were quiet on the trade front over the weekend, and many of them have a hard time believing Angels owner Arte Moreno will trade Ohtani in the first place—especially since the team has found a way to remain in contention without Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon.
