The Los Angeles Angels are reportedly willing to listen to trade offers for two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani before the Aug. 1 deadline, but any sort of deal is likely going to require a haul of top-tier prospects.
The Angels want "multiple top-100 type prospects to begin the conversation" for an Ohtani deal, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.
Ohtani is set to become a free agent after the 2023 season and he is expected to command the largest contract in Major League Baseball history, surpassing the 12-year, $426.5 million deal Mike Trout signed with the Angels in March 2019.
During the league's All-Star weekend festivities in Seattle, several players, including Kansas City Royals slugger Salvador Perez, said they believed Ohtani would fetch $600 million on his next contract.
