But I maintain that major league teams have ample draft picks to stock their prospect pool. One sell off at the deadline is relatively insignificant towards building a contender whereas Ohtani is the definition of a generational talent. You want to argue the Angels aren’t well run, sure. That was true before the deadline IMO, not because they want to do everything they could to keep the guy.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this I guess. I think you're underestimating the kind of return they could have got for Ohtani in a trade and also underestimating the damage they've done to their organization by pissing away some of their top prospects.
