Summary

The 2023 MLB season hasn't even started yet and rumors about Shohei Ohtani leaving the Angels in free agency are already swirling. Ohtani commented on his impending free agent status saying, "Right now, I'm an Angel." Not exactly what you want to hear if you're an Angels fan. Today we're talking through what we think might happen with Ohtani at the end of the season. Other topics include Manny Machado saying he's opting out at the end of the year, Pujols' personal-service contract with the Angels, going through the Oakland A's roster and seeing if we know any players, and more!
