Angels fans don't see Shohei Ohtani being traded before year end: "Arte will continue to milk his value to the last possible point"

Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels is one of the most popular names in baseball. A Rookie of the Year, All-Star, and MVP Award winner by the age of twenty-eight, there does not appear to be much that this stud cannot do.As a two-way player, Ohtani is as effective on the mound as he is in the batter's box. The first player to hit 100 or more strikeouts while simultaneously putting up 100 or more RBIs, pretty much every MLB fawns over the idea of having him as their own.Shohei Ohtani's one-year, $30 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels will expire at the end of this season. While he is almost certain to depart the team in free agency, Barstool Sports has recently insinuated that he may be dealt at the trade deadline in around two months' time.Barstool Baseball@StoolBaseballShohei Ohtani only has to play here for two more months4321120Shohei Ohtani only has to play here for two more months https://t.co/bsaFNFYMpK&quot;Shohei Ohtani only has to play here for two more months&quot; - Barstool BaseballFans on Twitter were quick to cast doubt on this theory, saying that Los Angeles Angels management will not deal Ohtani as long as he is under contract with them.Sypherman@Syphermce@StoolBaseball He's not getting traded.

Moreno, the oldest owner in the MLB, has been at loggerheads with Ohtani for some time over their failure to reach mutual terms on a long-term deal. Many believe that Arte Moreno will keep Ohtani around for as long as he can for revenue purposes and fan engagement.Milktea Alliance 8⃣1⃣7⃣ W.S.@KamiliaHaraQoo@StoolBaseball @WeSuckkAgain Arte will not trade him, he will continue to milk his value to the last possible point12@StoolBaseball @WeSuckkAgain Arte will not trade him, he will continue to milk his value to the last possible pointJosh Zellers@JoshZellers3@StoolBaseball Nah we know the angels owners wants to keep him for revenue2@StoolBaseball Nah we know the angels owners wants to keep him for revenueUnlike Ohtani, the Angels were able to secure former MVP Award winner Mike Trout to a long-term deal.

However, Ohtani owes Angels fans and his teammates his best efforts.He is hitting .287/.360/.539 with 11 home runs, 32 RBIs, alongside an ERA of 3.35. With the Angels still very much in the mix, now is not the time to be thinking about a trade.It seems more likely that Shohei Ohtani and the Angels will stay together for the season and push as hard as they can for glory.
