Announced that he is considering selling the team “Because management is not my specialty”
■ Angels 2-0 Blue Jays (Japan time 28th, Toronto)
On the 27th (Japan time 28th), pitcher Shohei Otani of the Angels participated in the game once morest the Blue Jays, the enemy area, at the same time as “No. 3, pitcher and DH”, winning his 11th win this season. He pitched 109 pitches, the most this season, and pitched well with 9 strikeouts, 2 hits and no runs in 7 innings. After the game, there was a scene where he mentioned the issue of selling the team.
Art Moreno, the owner of the club, announced on the 23rd (24th) that he is considering selling the club. The shock ran through the team, but as a player, he intends to concentrate on the battle of the season.
“I am not an expert in management, so I don’t know. I don’t know how things will turn out. I want to finish it first.”
The team’s hopes of advancing to the postseason are hopeless. Reports are heating up once more that Ohtani will be traded for a drastic rebuilding of the team.
“I think it would be quicker to ask the GM regarding that. As I said earlier, I only have one more month to complete. I want to rest well and do my best once more tomorrow.”
Otani had previously said that he entrusted his career to his agent. As a player, he intends to focus on fighting on the ground.
