The Los Angeles Angels and Tampa Bay Rays discussed a significant trade that could have sent Shohei Ohtani to the Rays before the 2023 trade deadline, with the Angels reportedly seeking top prospects Junior Caminero and Carson Williams. Despite the interest, Angels owner Arte Moreno chose not to trade Ohtani, who later signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and won two NL MVPs and two World Series titles. Caminero, now an established third baseman, hit 45 home runs and earned an All-Star selection in 2025.
