MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani's future with the Los Angeles Angels is in question as the offseason gets closer and closer. 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.

To add to this, Angels owner Arte Morrello is looking to sell the team. With this type of uncertainty in the organization, trading Ohtani may be plausible.

"The fallout from Arte Moreno selling the Angels would be monumental. 1) Opens the door to a Shohei Ohtani trade -- or record-setting extension. 2)With enormous revenues, Angels still have never had a payroll over $183M. That'll change. 3) MLB's most hands-on owner is gone." - Jeff Passan

Overall, it will be interesting to see what happens in the offseason for Ohtani. Will the Angels extend him to a massive contract or trade him away for prospect?
