Shohei Ohtani trade rumors are going to be hot and heavy this offseason, as the Anaheim Angels are coming off another disappointing season, are likely being sold soon, and are facing the prospect of their perennial MVP candidate being a free agent at the end of the 2023 season.
Now, it isn’t a guarantee that Ohtani will be dealt. The Angels may opt to hold onto him, see how the 2023 season progresses, and re-evaluate at the trade deadline. They could extend him, though the fact that owner Arte Moreno is looking to sell the team would seem to complicate that.
