The Los Angeles Angels announced Shohei Ohtani will be their Opening Day starter on March 30 against the Oakland Athletics.

Ohtani is due to be a free agent in 2024, which has raised uncertainty over his long-term future in Los Angeles. General manager Perry Minasian said in November the team had no plans to move the 2021 American League MVP this offseason.

Team owner Arte Moreno, who’s no longer exploring a sale of the team, told the New York Post’s Jon Heyman on Feb. 8 he hopes Ohtani remains an Angel for the foreseeable future.

“I’d like to keep Ohtani,” he said. “He’s one of a kind, He’s a great person. He’s obviously one of the most popular baseball players in the world, and he’s an international star. He’s a great teammate. He works hard. He’s a funny guy, and he has a really good rapport with fans.”
