紐約郵報在去年交易大限結束後不久就有報導，而天使老闆在近日接受記者訪談時也證實了
這個消息
節錄
Moreno personally vetoed the idea of trading Ohtani at last year’s trade deadli
ne, and he told Verducci that “we had five real offers for” the superstar. Bu
t, beyond the team’s desire to retain Ohtani beyond 2023, Moreno felt there was
more of a bigger-picture aspect to hanging onto such a unique player. “People
ask me, ‘Shouldn’t you get something?’ But we get to see him every day. Th
at’s not nothing. These people get to come and watch the best players. They’
re going to tell their grandkids, ‘I saw Ohtani play.’ ”
The owner’s trade veto seems to still be in effect for now, as Moreno stated th
at “I will say it on the record, we will not trade Ohtani while we are contendi
ng for a playoff spot.” As to whether or not the Angels would entertain offers
if they were out of contention, Moreno didn’t consider the possibility, saying
“we expect to be a playoff contender. Everything in our plans putting this te
am together is about getting to the playoffs. So, I’m not going to sit here an
d wonder what happens in an outcome we’re not planning for. That would be like
a fighter going into the ring and thinking, ‘What if I lose?’ If he does that
, he will lose.”
大致上提到
去年有5支球隊正式報價給天使隊，但被Moreno親自打槍，Moreno留住大谷有更遠大的願景
，他希望球迷能進場看到最棒的球員，然後告訴他們的子孫自己看過大谷打球。
Moreno說天使競爭季後賽的位置時絕對不會交易大谷，被問到如果天使失去競爭力時會不會
接受其他隊的報價則表示他沒考慮過這種情況。
他說球團預期自己能成為季後賽的競爭者，他們的一切計畫都是為了打進季後賽，所以他不
會去想計畫外的結果，就像一名鬥士進入競技場時不會去想自己輸了要怎麼辦一樣。
