Ohtani - 2 More Seasons until FA

Recommended Posts

Could he be available?  Can the Angels pay both Trout and Ohtani?  With 2 seasons left before free agency this would be the time to get a monster haul in return.  And if that potential scenario played out well...the Angels could be good in 2 seasons and could sign Ohtani as a FA again.  The White Sox don't have what it would take in terms of prospects...who out there does?  If Ohtani plays with the Angels 2 more years without an extension...there are only 4 or 5 clubs that would be in the mix to be able to pay him right?  Would the Angels have the courage to trade him this offseason?

I absolutely believe they CAN pay Ohtani.  Whether they should or should not is a different question.  Angels have had large payrolls before, Arte Moreno will shell out the dough

Yeah...I guess I get that they can pay Ohtani and Trout at the same time...but what does that leave for the rest of the roster?  2 stars are great to have...but if it extends their losing season streak from 6 to 10 or more...is it worth it?  Ohtani is a unique talent for sure...I would love to see the Angels trade him this winter just to see what they could get back?  Or...sign him long-term because his contract will be unlike any before due to the pitching and hitting aspect to his play.
