Sitting at 42-57, it's a tall order for the Angels to make the postseason. Trading Ohtani would give the Halos assets for the future.
Just a few weeks ago, it looked like the Angels were reportedly not listening to offers for two-way All-Star Shohei Ohtani.
The team has failed to make the postseason in all of Ohtani's previous four seasons and it's unlikely the Halos qualify this season, barring a magical run in the final two months of the regular season. New York Post baseball insider Jon Heyman reported on Thursday that the Angels' front office is now listening to offers for Ohtani after originally indicating they weren't.
"Regardless of where I'm playing, I'm going to give it my all and try to win that ballgame in front of me," Ohtani told reporters on Thursday."I'm with the Angels right now, and I'm very thankful for what they've done. I love my team and my teammates. Right now I'm an Angel, and that's all I can focus on."
At 28-years-old, Ohtani still has a good amount of production left in the tank to dominate on the mound and at the plate.
