I dont think these Ohtani trades work on this website just because it doesnt account for his superstar status. His on field value may be 97.5, but he gives whatever organization that has him soooo much off field value. Mike Trout AFV is 483 over the next 8.7 years, while Ohtani’s is 107 in 1.7 years. Any team that trades for him will definitely lock him up for the rest of time, so I’d peg him to actually have close to 200+ trade value like Tatis, not 97.
Lets be real, if the Angels had to trade Ohtani to the highest bidder, Padres would have to give up Abrams, Gore and Hassel to start. Whatever the hypothetical trade is, it won’t be fair prospect-wise, since no matter what the Angels get they will always lose this trade since they’d be trading possibly the greatest baseball player ever, in his prime.
Gore has the ceiling of a better pitch than ohtani (and was better than ohtani up to his coors start) and Abrams and hassell both have higher offensive ceilings than ohtani. Padres would be getting fleeced.

His value outside of the baseball field doesn’t have anything to do with his value as a player.
