Alex Rodriguez had a bold idea to help save the Los Angeles Angels, but it likely won’t make many in their fanbase happy.
The former Yankees third baseman turned analyst suggested trading both Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout in order to put the Angels in a position to win a World Series championship in five years.Ohtani will be a free agent this upcoming offseason and with the MLB trade deadline approaching, Rodriguez thought now might be the time to make a move of that caliber.
“I think this needs a serious, serious situation and a bold move,” Rodriguez said. “I think the Angels win a world championship in five years if they do this: First, you trade Ohtani, then you trade Trout. And you try to get five or six players, load up with first-rounders and the next thing that you have to do is bring in a guy like Theo Epstein, give him ownership and let him run the shop.
Alex Rodriguez thinks the Angels can win the World Series in five years if they trade Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout.“And that move has to come first and then follow up. I don’t think you have the time, but that would be the move.”
