The MLB trade deadline looms in two weeks as the Angels weigh trading two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. Could the Giants swoop in for a deal?
There are two questions dominating the sports radio talk show airwaves, nationally and in the Bay Area:
Should the Angels trade Shohei Ohtani before he hits free agency this offseason? And what kind of haul should teams like the Giants give up to get him? Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is coming up on Aug. 1, giving the Angels two weeks to make a decision with their free-agent-to-be superstar. It’s easy to see why everyone wants Ohtani. He’s fourth in all of baseball in strikeouts as a pitcher while going 7-5 with a 3.50 ERA in 18 starts, and he’s the major league leader in home runs .
Even with that MVP-level performance, the Angels enter Tuesday with a 47-48 record, 5.5 games out of the final American League wild card spot with four teams ahead of them.Monday and handicapped the chances of Ohtani getting traded before the deadline at percent 25%. But if Ohtani is traded, Heyman said that Angels owner Arte Moreno would not dare send him to one team: the Giants’ archrival and the only team ahead of them in the NL West.
