The Angels on Wednesday acquired $1 million in international bonus pool money from the Minnesota Twins, money they can now offer to Japanese pitcher/hitter Shohei Ohtani. But, over the last week, the Angels have now acquired $2.21 million to offer him anyway, desiring to leave no stone unturned. So, Seattle remains ahead of the Angels in money to offer Ohtani, while the Texas Rangers' available $3.5 million leads all teams. If Ohtani picks one of the other six clubs, the Angels can deploy the created space on less established international prospects.
