In a widely expected move, MLB free agent Shohei Ohtani declined the Los Angeles Angels’ qualifying offer ahead of Tuesday's 1 p.m. PST deadline. What’s next for the team: Because Ohtani, 29, declined the one-year offer worth $20.325 million, the Angels will receive draft-pick compensation, notably either a third or fourth-round pick during the 2024 MLB Draft, if the Japanese-born two-way phenom decides to sign elsewhere. With Ohtani exploring free agency, new Angels manager Ron Washington announced during his introductory press conference on Wednesday that he is planning for the team to dominate the American League West in 2024 “once we get things together and we get these guys together in spring training.”
