Angels keeping Shohei Ohtani through trade deadline, GM says

Shohei Ohtani is staying with the Los Angeles Angels, at least for the rest of the season.

The Angels said they have decided not to deal the two-way superstar, a morning after making a significant move that signaled they are in win-now mode and five days before the MLB trade deadline.

"We're going to roll the dice and see what happens," Angels general manager Perry Minasian told reporters in Detroit before a doubleheader against the Tigers on Thursday in which Ohtani will start Game 1 on the mound.

Ohtani will be a free agent in the offseason.
