The funny thing about Japanese players over the years is they don’t tend to follow their countrymen for some reason. I think the Ohtani piece may be a difference maker though. In any case, it turns out the remaining teams are all rich with available funds which, while it doesn’t make a difference here I do wonder if it’ll be a short term deal where he wants to resign for a heavy price upon expiry. Just my thought.
Or he could be playing everyone and do the obvious joining of LA.
