Angels Open to Trade Offers for Ohtani, Yankees Potential Suitors

The Los Angeles Angels will reportedly consider trade offers for Shohei Ohtani, the 2021 AL MVP, ahead of the trade deadline, although a trade is still seen as unlikely. The team's performance during the upcoming homestand will play a significant role in their decision. Ohtani, a two-way sensation, is expected to sign a record-breaking contract in the offseason, but teams eager to acquire him now may make offers before the August 1 deadline. The Angels have been plagued by injuries and currently sit below .500, making their playoff chances uncertain. Deep-pocketed teams like the Yankees, Mets, and Dodgers are potential suitors for Ohtani's services.
