Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani has already agreed to a $30 million contract for 2023, his final campaign before free agency, and the club believes it has a shot to keep the two-way talent long term.

"I think it's step one," general manager Perry Minasian said of Ohtani's new deal. "Hopefully, there's more steps down the road. ... We love the player, and nothing would make me more happy than bringing him back for a long time."
