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.
I worry due to the way other injuries have been handled there that either there is negligence or worse. I hope he takes care of himself from here on out. He's the best thing in baseball for quite some time.
