The Los Angeles Angels would certainly love to have Shohei Ohtani back on the roster in 2024 and beyond, and a recent article from Bob Nightengale of USA Today suggests that the Halos remain "cautiously optimistic" in their chance of re-signing him. So, do we buy that? What incentive is there for Ohtani to stay? Turns out, he might have some incentives of his own, as well as some demands! We'll get into all of the details and share if the Super Halo Bros. are as optimistic as the Angels! Plus, in segment 1, we'll share the ONE stat that seems to have gone IGNORED in regards to the Angels' failures this season, and while it isn't the only reason, far from it, it is an indication of something that will need to be addressed in 2024 if the Halos hope to play fundamental baseball. So, what is it? We'll share it with you as we leadoff today's show! Plus, almost daily, we get the comment that "Nothing changes until Arte sells the team." Trust us, you don't have to tell US that. But, that doesn't mean that we as fans and hosts of Locked On Angels aren't going to look to solutions while operating in Arte's world. Plus, is that statement even true? Can things change if Arte remains in charge? We'll get into all of that in segment 3! GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!  CALL US: (714) 409-6396 Tell us what's on your mind!
