ESPN Reporter Asks Angels Manager About Potential Ohtani Trade During Game

The Angels and Astros took the field for Sunday Night Baseball. During the game, Buster Olney conducted a live interview with manager Phil Nevin from the Angels’ dugout. 

The ESPN reporter asked him some questions, including prodding about a potential Shohei Ohtani trade amid the recent increase in speculation over the two-way superstar’s future in Anaheim.

“Really with him it hasn’t come up. It’s all business. We’re focused on winning baseball games right now and getting back to where we were a couple weeks ago and hopefully those rumors go away again,” said Nevin in response to a question from Olney. 

Some fans weren’t happy with Olney, suggesting it wasn’t fair for the reporter to ask the Angels manager about a trade involving the best player in baseball in the middle of an ongoing game.
