A change is being detected in the position of the Los Angeles Angels club, which said that the trade of Ohtani Shohei (29) is ‘absolutely impossible’.체스카지노
“Sources say the Angels front desk will consider trade inquiries for Ohtani if they come in,” MLB Network’s John Morosi said. “The club has very high standards for Ohtani’s transfer, but they are not ruling out the possibility of a deal at the trade deadline,” he said.
Ohtani, who has top-notch major league records as both a pitcher and a hitter, will become a free agent after this season. Even before the season started, interest in the future destination as a free agent was hot, and the possibility of a trade was mentioned around big market clubs such as the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, and Boston Red Sox.
It is the Angels’ performance that ignites Ohtani’s trade potential. The Angels finished the first half with a 45-46 win rate and a win rate of less than 50% (0.495). The Angels, who are in 4th place in the American League (AL) West Division, are 7 games behind the district leader Texas Rangers, and 5 games away from the wild card ticket. In addition, the team’s key hitter Mike Trout is expected to be absent for a long time due to a wrist injury, so it is impossible to guarantee fall baseball.
Moroshi said, “The performance of the upcoming home game will be a big consideration in the Angels’ final decision,” predicting that the results of the 9 home games in the second half will affect Ohtani’s move.
The biggest variable is the mindset of Art Moreno, the owner of the Angels. On the 8th, MLB.com said, “There is a count of viewers every time Ohtani plays. His appearances are accompanied by marketing revenue and sponsorship money.” “The possibility of Ohtani receiving a second AL MVP is very real. If you are a fan or a club official, I would like you to think that he plays in a different uniform.” The team may not want to trade Ohtani, the ‘goose that lays golden eggs’, who has star quality and brings huge profits.
For now, many baseball officials view the possibility of a trade as low. However, the Angels cannot realistically hold on to Ohtani. This is because if the Angels fail in fall baseball and send Ohtani to the market as a free agent, the only reward the club can get is one draft nomination.
At the Major League All-Star Game held on the 12th, Ohtani heard shouts of “Come to Seattle” from Seattle Mariners home fans. Baseball fans aspire to see Ohtani play in his cheering team’s uniform. Attention is focusing on whether Ohtani will wear a uniform other than the Angels uniform when the trade deadline passes.
