While Mariners and Giants fans were celebrating at their teams’ securing of a meeting with Japanese two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani, fans of other teams were freaking out.
No news was to be had regarding the Angels, until Jeff Passan shared this.
Multiple sources believe the Los Angeles Angels remain in the running for Shohei Ohtani.

If you didn’t catch that, this makes the Angels one of seven teams to have a meeting with Ohtani and his representatives. Their probability right now of landing the frontline starter (1/7) are much higher than before (1/30). Make of that what you will.
