A shocking twist?
There are many rumors about Shohei Ohtani (29, LA Angels) in the American media. In the midst of this, there was a media that predicted that there would be no trade in the end. The New York Post represents the entire United States. On the 23rd (hereinafter Korean time), based on the calculations of Draft Kings Sportsbook, a sports betting company, it was predicted that Ohtani would go to the 2023-2024 free agent market without being traded.
According to the actual Draft Kings Sportsbook, it is concluded that Ohtani’s ‘next team’ is the Angels. The odds are -170. Next, the Los Angeles Dodgers are +800, the San Francisco Giants are +900, and the odds to go to a team other than two are +1000.
Going on, the Atlanta Braves are +1100, the New York Yankees are +1400, the Baltimore Orioles are +1500, the New York Mats are +1800, the Tampa Bay Rays are +2200, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Bolu Jays are +2500.
The New York Post says the Angels are considering trading Ohtani at this point. However, it said that a final decision had not been made. There is a lot of talk that a decision will be made just before the trade deadline on the 2nd of next month. Anyway, the Los Angeles Angels are 3.5 games behind in the top 3 of the American League Wild Card race.
The New York Post said, “Whoever takes Ohtani will get the best player, but this two-time hitter is sure to hit the jackpot in the free agent market this winter. If he really does move, any team risks losing him in a few months.” This means that there is a possibility of missing out again in the free agent market even if a team that takes him to the trade comes out.안전놀이터
The New York Post said, “The Angels hope to advance to the postseason while holding on to Ohtani. It’s hard to justify trading one of the greatest players in baseball history, and Ohtani will continue to put his butt in the stands.”
“A two-month deal may not result in a trade package as strong as Ohtani’s star power suggests. He bet he will test his worth in the free agency market. If the deal goes through, the lottery winner will be either the Los Angeles Dodgers or the San Francisco Giants.”
The New York Post’s perspective also makes sense. Realistically, the team that takes Ohtani to the trade must prepare for a contract extension before sending him to the free agent market. If it is really going to end after 2-3 months, it is because the counter-payment to be paid is too large. However, even if Ohtani is traded, it is unknown whether he will sign an extension contract with the club. It is because calling is expensive, so it can be said that he is going to the FA market. If so, the New York Post says that considering all these points, the team that will take them to the trade will not appear.
