For the Los Angeles Angels, 2023 will bring one more year of “Sho-Time.”
Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels have agreed on a $30 million contract for the 2023 season, the largest salary ever for an arbitration-eligible player. He surpassd the $27 million deal Dodger Mookie Bets signed for $27 million for the 2020 season (which was reduced due to the pandemic-shortened season).
His $24.5 million raise is also the largest ever from one year to the next. Ohtani’s 2022 salary was $5.5 million.
Ohtani will be a free agent after next year, and some are speculating the Angels might trade him. The club has been hamstrung by a bad combination of high salaries and little progress in the standings.
If he is dispatched, Ohtani would likely bring back a record haul in players and prospects.
Since arriving in 2018, he has been named the American League Rookie of the Year and the league’s MVP. He could potentially be up for another MVP award this year, but faces stiff competition from New York Yankee Aaron Judge, who is on the verge of a league record for home runs and a potential Triple Crown in homers, RBI and batting average.
Ohtani has 34 homers, 94 RBI, .and an 888 OPS, and his average is up. He also leads the American League with an 11.9 K/9 (second-best in MLB), and his 2.35 ERA is the sixth lowest in baseball.

Cynthia Littleton Business Editor Nearly a decade after acquiring the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers, Steve Ballmer is finally realizing his dream to build a bigger and better TV platform for his beloved basketball franchise. The Clippers today are launching ClipperVision, a regional subscription streaming service that offers six channel options for watching the vast majority of the team’s home and away games – more than 70 out of 84 regular season games. The service will cost $199 per season and is available largely in Southern California. The service’s first live stream bows Oct. 22. with an away-game against the Sacramento Kings. One of the six channel feeds will be dedicated to the team’s traditional linear cable TV coverage via Bally Sports. Two more are dedicated to Spanish-language and Korean-language coverage of live games – with the Korean team anchoring from a studio in Seoul.
