The Latest Breaking News from Shohei Ohtani

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Rays made some mistakes that extended Wednesday’s game against the Angels into the 11th inning.

The Angels will start their 2023 season exactly where they will cap this regular season: in Oakland. And after that? Seattle. A newly returned Anthony Rendon (wrist surgery), along with the power duo of Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, should make for quite the entrance to the season.

LOS ANGELES — The last time I spoke to Arte Moreno, he joked that he should fire himself.

His ownership is defined by mismanagement and utter disappointment. His exit can’t come soon enough.

The most widely watched youth sporting event in the world is more than just summertime programming for ESPN—it’s a competition spreading baseball across the globe.

Arte Moreno is exploring selling the Angels, the team announced Tuesday.

This could be HUGE.

DETROIT — Tigers’ manager AJ Hinch talked before the game about how important it was for his hitters not to be overly respectful for Angels’ starter Shohei Ohtani.

DETROIT — The Saturday attendance at Comerica Park was 23,581 — thousands more of which, certainly, came to see Shohei Ohtani than, say, Victor Reyes and Kody Clemens.

DETROIT — Here we are on the dim outskirts of major league relevancy, far from the glare of any type of playoff race. Two teams with big aspirations coming into the season that have been similarly wracked by injuries and underperformance.

The Astros, Padres and Angels are prime examples of what star pitchers can produce on five days’ rest.
