Angels fans believe Shohei Ohtani's Anaheim stint could be over after GM Perry Minasian's recent comments

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani is not likely to play again this season, according to fans online. Ohtani was recently diagnosed with a UCL tear, which has led many to believe that the Los Angeles Angels have failed to handle him well enough.

Shohei Ohtani is a big MLB star with a huge fan following. However, he tore his UCL recently and had also been dealing with arm fatigue during the season.

Owing to his injuries, Ohtani was replaced in several games. Moreover, he has a history of arm issues too.

A recent comment by GM Perry has made fans believe that Ohtani's stint with the Angels is done, and that he's not likely to return to Anaheim.

Perry said that the Angels offered to conduct an MRI to better understand and address the injury sustained on Ohtani's arm. The proposal was made last month, but it was refused by Ohtani and his agent, as they didn't deem it necessary.

The comment came after severe criticism from fans holding the Angels responsible for Ohtani's injury.

One fan asked:

"Is it because he’s a competitor or because he didn’t want to ruin a potentially insane FA deal?"

Others reacted as follows:

"pointlessly bad PR, guess he's not going back to Anaheim LOL" posted a fan.

Shohei Ohtani is the core of his team. On October 1, 2022, Ohtani won two Angels awards before the commencement of the game: the Nick Adenhart and the MVP award.

Not surprisingly, his injury is turning into a nightmare for his fans.
