Los Angeles public transit system trolls struggling Angels with Shohei Ohtani jab

There are no indications currently that the Los Angeles Angels plan on entertaining trade offers for Shohei Ohtani prior to the Aug. 1 deadline, but that is not stopping anyone from piling onto their recent on-field misfortunes.

The official Metro Los Angeles Twitter account promoted their Dodger Stadium line ahead of this weekend's series between the Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers and took a shot at the Angels in the process. The account encouraged fans to take the Dodger Stadium Express in order to “see Shohei before Angels wave white flag and trade him.”

The Angels have lost seven of their last eight games and had fallen to 45-44 entering play Friday. Their recent play has hurt their chances of making the playoffs significantly. Injuries have substantially dimmed their outlook moving forward, too.

Ohtani is in a contract year, but the Angels are adamant that they will not trade him. That won’t stop jibes like this one, though.
