As much as I would enjoy seeing Trout and Ohtani win a WS together, as a baseball fan with eyes I've already seen what happens when you give the Halos the best player in the game. They blow it.
Heck, they've had Ohtani and Trout already and can't even finish above .500.
I think the Angels have to trade him unless they feel 99% they WILL resign him....not CAN sign him.
If they keep him and don't resign him, they are going to get a few draft picks. This should be completely unacceptable to any and all Angels fans
If they trade him now as the best trade deadline rental of all time (by a long shot) they could get back transformational young talent. I'm seeing 2-3 pitchers plus a hitter. (Legitimate players, not future projects)
It stinks they they can't just lock him up now, but the guy is the best ballplayer of modern time...he deserves to be able to go to Seattle if that is where he wants to sign. (Which, is my prediction, regardless of where he plays the rest of this season.)

Pujols finally left and it opened up DH for Ohtani full time. It also took Pujols away from first base.
Ohtani got hurt his second year and couldn't pitch.
Rendon has been an absolute bust.
Ohoppe gets hurt.
Trout has been hurt the past 4 years.
The Angels drafted 22 pitchers 2 years ago to address their dreadful bullpen and starting rotation.
It's all stupid shit that keeps happening.
I will say this, I LOVE the addition of Moustakas and Moniak. They are playing some good ball right now.
Before Trouts slump and injury the Halos were above 500 ball. They can still make a run.0 -

They're toast.This weekend we rock Portland0 -
I can appreciate your position as a fan of the team, Tempo. I am fond of them, having gone to at least 10 games a year for 10+ years, some year many more than that. (And less than 10 probably for 9 years.). A lot of business write offs. Even went to WS game 2 vs Giants.
However....I still hold to what I typed.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

The Halos are trying to do right by him and the team. Moreno was not doing the right thing before.
I do hope that Ohtani stays. The Angels are going to have some team in the next few years. We have a kid, 17, Nelson Reda, doing good things.
You haven't said anything not plausible. It may become a reality that they trade him.0 -

He's ranked like top 5 beginning of the year in terms of a fantasy player. Steals bases, pop on the bat, drives in runs, hit's for average.
He had a very good WBC then forgot how to hit.0 -
Halos win again!
Ohtani leads the league in Triples too.0 -
