LAS VEGAS — On the first day of MLB’s annual GM Meetings, Perry Minasian dumped a bucket of cold water on what might have been baseball’s biggest offseason story.
Ohtani, who was named one of the three finalists for the American League MVP on Monday, is set to be a free agent after the 2023 season. He’ll make $30 million, the highest salary ever for a player who has not been eligible for free agency. Complicating matters, the Angels are currently for sale, so there could be reluctance on both sides to commit to a long-term deal beyond 2023. Minasian added that he couldn’t “rule out” an Ohtani extension.
Obviously, it leaves open the possibility that the Angels could trade Ohtani during the 2023 season. Minasian said for now he’s simply focused on building the Angels into a winning team, and that involves keeping Ohtani.Minasian pointed out repeatedly that the Angels’ pitching staff finished ninth in the majors in ERA. They have a solid middle-of-the-lineup with Ohtani, Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon, provided all are healthy.
Ohtani, 28, hit 34 homers with an .875 OPS. On the mound, he was 15-9 with a 2.33 ERA in 166 innings.
