He wants to continue as DH, but I think that is foolish on his part. He has nothing left to prove before free agency and millions more to lose. He doesn't owe the Angels anything.
That's the only thing he "does" owe them. They pay him to play if he can.
He was showing signs of fatigue and the Angels kept him on a five day rotation. That is an aggressive rotation for any pitcher but unsustainable for one known to be having soreness. The club knew they were going to lose him and I think they decided to just get everything out of him they could with no concern of injury.
For this future Dodger, the Angels thought they had a shot at at least the wild card at the end of July. They went for it but fizzled. They shut Trout down and Ohtani may get another Tommy John. Angels ownership is in major disarray. Stadium deal blown up,
