Shohei Ohtani will become a free agent after the 2023 season unless he signs a contract extension with the Los Angeles Angels.

Perry Minasian said earlier this week that the Angels wouldn't trade Ohtani this offseason.

Ohtani's agent, Nez Balelo, made it seem as though an extension with the club is unlikely.

"We haven't really given that a lot of thought because we are just focused on the one year, which we accomplished and that's what we did," Balelo of CAA said after being asked during the general manager meetings whether they would be open to having extension discussions during spring training or in the middle of the season. "So to be honest with you, that's our main focus.

"Now that we have that over and behind us, we're comfortable with the one-year deal and we're just going to kind of focus on that right now."

Ohtani, the 2021 American League MVP, will make $30 million next season.
