ANAHEIM — Although the Angels took care of a significant piece of offseason business when they agreed to a $30 million, one-year deal with Shohei Ohtani last weekend, the larger item remains.As Angels general manager Perry Minasian spoke about his plans for the offseason on Thursday, he offered little about Ohtani’s future except for the obvious.
“I’m never going to talk about negotiations, but I said it before and I’ll say it again, I’d love to have him here for a long time,” Minasian said.One of the other questions about Ohtani and how he fits with the Angels in 2023 is whether they’d be willing to use him as part of a five-man rotation instead of a six-man rotation.
“I wouldn’t rule it out,” Minasian said. “But if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. There’s a balance there. Is the risk worth the reward?” Although it certainly seems the Angels could be better if Ohtani could pitch at the same level, but more often, and also replace some of the starts from No. 6 starters, the Angels aren’t sure it would work that way. They don’t know if Ohtani – or even young pitchers like Patrick Sandoval, Reid Detmers and José Suarez – would pitch as well with less rest.“I’m not standing in anybody’s way,” Minasian said. “Shohei has earned the right, if he wants to play, to go play.
“You need to take time and really go through it and do it the right way,” Minasian said. “You can’t rush anything.”Former manager Joe Maddon had been talking for months about his issues with what he perceived to be interference from the front office while he was managing the Angels.was released on Thursday, and it included even more details about ways that Minasian and Assistant GM Alex Tamin encroached on Maddon’s job, in his opinion.
