I think it's a bit more complicated. On one hand the Angels erred in not coming to a deal with him to this point. Still though, as an owner I can see how Ohtani might appreciate that he wasn't dealt and may give them a 5% discount and stick with them. He seems like a nice guy that way. If he was dealt there would be no chance he'd sign back as the obligation would be to sign with the team that dealt for him. If the Angels don't make a significant offer, that would be a disaster. Something tells me they made the right move and will be rewarded with him signing there.
