Even playing half his all-world game for now, Shohei Ohtani will be the biggest free agent ever.
“There’s no way they can afford him,” one rival exec claimed. But of course, did anyone think they could afford decade deals for Xander Bogaerts, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado ? Odds: 7-1 Some rivals are assuming the Angels have no chance since they haven’t made the playoffs while paying Ohtani a fraction his worth. But word is he likes it there — he lives in Newport Beach — and also appreciates their willingness to accommodate his two-way stardom from the start.
Would he go to an Angels rival?They could outbid anyone, and though Ohtani hasn’t seemed especially interested in money, he does have a big agency and there is the players’ union. Of course, being in Steve Cohen tax territory means a $50M annual salary actually costs $105 million.Odds: 20-1 Ohtani spent two winters there, though folks think that’s due to his trainer. If legacy matters, some wonder whether Ichiro Suzuki’s great history there could be a deterrent.
