Shohei Ohtani's status with the Los Angeles Angels reportedly may depend on where the Angels stand in proximity to the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees at the trade deadline.
According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, sources have indicated that the Angels are likely to keep Ohtani if they can surpass the Red Sox and Yankees in the standings by the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
Entering play Friday, the 49-48 Angels were only two games behind the Red Sox and one game behind the Yankees.
