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.

Ohtani is still set to be a free agent after the 2023 season, and he is due for a historic contract.

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.
