Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian is thinking long-term when it comes to Shohei Ohtani.
The Angels and Ohtani agreed to a one-year, $30 million contract for the 2023 campaign, meaning the two sides will avoid arbitration.
"I think it's step one," Minasian said of the deal, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. "Hopefully there are more steps down the road. I'm never going to talk about negotiations but I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd love to have him here for a long time."
