When the 2023 MLB trade deadline approached, Shohei Ohtani’s future was uncertain, with discussions of a major trade between the Angels and the Rays involving top prospects Junior Caminero and Carson Williams.

Ohtani later joined the Dodgers in December 2023, winning two MVPs and emerging as a Cy Young candidate. The Angels’ missed opportunities in trades are now felt as they currently hold the worst record in baseball.
