The LA Angels Need More Than Just Gerrit Cole

While one can make the argument that Shohei Ohtani is the LA Angels de facto ace, there’s a few issues with that. First off, we have no idea how effective Ohtani will be in his return to the mound following Tommy John surgery. Most pitchers eventually return to their usual selves, but you can never be 100% certain. Ohtani will also have an innings limit next year, capping the production he can accrue on the mound.

The Angels need not one ace this winter, but two.

If this team truly wants to contend, they need to break the bank on their rotation.
