While a Shohei Ohtani trade remains "extremely unlikely" before next week's deadline, the Los Angeles Angels haven't entirely ruled out the possibility, according to a report.

The report speculates that the Angels will wait until after the Washington Nationals trade Juan Soto to see what haul the outfielder brings.

Ohtani, 27, is making just $5.5 million this season and he'll hit free agency after the 2023 campaign.
