are highly unlikely to trade Shohei Ohtani if they remain in playoff contention this summer, general manager Perry Minasian said Tuesday.
The second-place Angels are 41-33 entering Tuesday’s games, holding one of the AL’s wild card playoff spots and trailing AL West-leading Texas by five games after being nine back only two weeks ago. The Halos took three of four from the Rangers in Arlington last week as part of an 11-3 surge that has boosted their chances of making the playoffs for the first time in Ohtani’s career.
After contributing an extra-base hit in every game last week during the Halos’ 5-2 road trip, Ohtani was named the AL Player of the Week for the fifth time in his career. He went 10 for 23 with six homers, 12 RBIs, 10 walks and a 1.893 OPS. He also pitched six innings of two-run ball to beat Texas in his only mound start.
