One MLB executive claims that Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani prefers comfort over money as the superstar approaches free agency next offseason.
That's per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, who referenced the remark amid a larger answer in response to a question on whether the Angels have a chance at agreeing to an extension with Ohtani.
"They want to try, and have two things going for them: 1) He's presumed to prefer the West Coast (one rival exec says, 'he's about comfort, more than money'), and 2) They've clearly honored his wish to prove he's the best two-way player ever.
