There are 30 teams in MLB so there are 30 GMs in attendance this week at the GM meetings in Arizona and the Shohei Ohtani free agency race is off to a clandestine start.
Los Angeles Angels' Shohei Ohtani had elbow surgery, and his doctor expects the two-way star will be available as a hitter on opening day 2024 and will return to the mound as a pitcher in 2025.
Shohei Ohtani is staying with the Los Angeles Angels, at least for the rest of the season. The playoff-contending team has decided just days before MLB’s trade deadline.
Shohei Ohtani hit his second home run of the season, Taylor Ward added a two-run shot in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 7-3.
Shohei Ohtani watch is on. Not Ohtani’s home runs or strikeouts or any of his magnificent numbers from the field. Nothing like that. It’s all about how much his next contract will be worth.
Angels two-way player Shohei Ohtani had a start like none since Babe Ruth 100 years earlier. Ohtani struck out nine, and also scored three runs and drove in two as the Angels beat Texas 9-4.
