Shohei Ohtani, the two-way superstar, is on the verge of making a momentous decision in free agency. The most highly sought-after free agent of the offseason, Ohtani is expected to sign an unprecedented contract with a value upwards of $500 million, despite undergoing a second Tommy John surgery. Although he won’t be able to pitch again until 2025, the frontrunner for the AL MVP title is likely to captivate the sports world with his free-agency decision in the coming weeks.
Reports from multiple MLB general managers suggest that Ohtani could make his decision before the end of the annual winter meetings, taking place from Dec. 4-6. A source mentioned that a signing could happen even before the meetings officially commence, accelerating the anticipation surrounding Ohtani’s future.
The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers are considered major contenders for signing Ohtani, with the Dodgers currently leading as the top choice. The 29-year-old’s decision could surprise the baseball community and catapult another team into the race to sign him. The answer to this highly anticipated decision is looming on the horizon, leaving fans and analysts on the edge of their seats.
