The Los Angeles Angels tried to go "all in" in the last year of Shohei Ohtani's contract, but failed pretty miserably come August after the trade deadline. Given Ohtani's statements on wanting to win, does he feel the pressure to leave the Halos? The narratives surrounding Shohei will certainly be there if he decides to leave or stay, and on today's Fanmail Friday, we're answering that very question. We'll get into how it'll end up being similar to Mike Trout's narrative if he does stay, and we'll discuss if it does impact Shohei's decision.
Plus, did Phil Nevin get dealt a bad hand as manager of the Angels, and will Perry Minasian tell Anthony Rendon to "shape up!" for 2024? We'll get to these questions and many more on today's Fanmail Friday edition of Locked On Angels!
