“Get him in Orange and Blue”, “Trade the farm if need be” - MLB Twitter reacts to Shohei Ohtani’s comments on Angels future as trade rumors grow

MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani's future with the Los Angeles Angels is in question with the deadline approaching. Ohtani is set to become a free agent after the 2023 season, and with the recent struggles the Angels have faced, they may move him.

Shohei Ohtani recently spoke to the media about the trade rumors. He remained coy about his future with the Angels and said that his main focus would be on delivering game-in-game-out.

"Regardless of where I'm playing, I'm going to give it my all and try to win that ballgame in front of me. I'm with the Angels right now and I'm very thankful for what they've done."-@SNY

Many fans across Twitter reacted to his comments. One New York Mets fan wants Ohtani to don orange and blue.

Mets fans are willing to trade away all of their top prospects to acquire a player like Ohtani.

Fans believe that Ohtani's comments show he wants to be traded to a different team.

The Mets' pitching rotation with Ohtani would be ridiculous. Having Ohtani, Scherzer, deGrom, Walker, and Bassit would be one of the best rotations in baseball.

Which teams could realistically sign Shohei Ohtani?

Ohtani pumps his fist after striking out three batters in a row with the bases loaded during a Texas Rangers v Los Angeles Angels game this season.

The St. Louis Cardinals have the assets required to make a trade for Ohtani. The team has five prospects in MLB.com's top 100 list. Therefore, a trade to St. Louis has some potential.

The Mets are also have a number of prospects to offer, including MLB's #1 overall prospect, catcher Francisco Alvarez. The Mets have also shown a willingness to spend big with new owner Steve Cohen. Overall, the Mets appear to be the front-runners to land Ohtani.

However, the top destination for Ohtani is the San Diego Padres. The Padres have three prospects in the top 100 list and have one of the most aggressive GMs, A.J. Preller.

It is still uncertain whether or not Shohei Ohtani will be traded. These next few days will be key.
