In 2023, it is steadily predicted that there is a possibility that Shohei Ohtani, a star of ‘two-hitters’, will leave the Los Angeles Angels with a trade.
On the 17th (hereinafter Korean time), the American media’Fansidide’ looked at 16 players who are likely to move the team before the trade deadline among major league players in 2023. Among them, the most likely player was Ohtani.
The media said, “Ohtani is number one. It’s familiar. Depending on where the Angels are in the rankings, whether or not Ohtani will remain will be determined,” he asked, “Which team should go all-in to get a superstar?”
Ohtani started all 28 games as a pitcher last year, recording a 15-9 record with a 2.33 ERA. In 157 games as a hitter, he posted a batting average of 2.7, 3, 34 home runs and 95 RBIs.
Ohtani, who was the 2021 American League MVP, received a lot of attention last year as well. Aaron Judge became the 2022 American League MVP, but Ohtani was a strong contender.바카라사이트
The media looked at the possibility of the St. Louis Cardinals scouting for Ohtani. The media said, “St. Louis has many excellent hitters in their mid-20s at the Major League level in the Angels. It was selected as the team that will be the biggest threat to Ohtani’s recruitment.”
Ohtani is getting the most attention this winter. He, who has established himself as one of the best ‘two-hitters’ players in major league history, is expected to become a free agent at the end of the 2023 season and receive more than $400 million (about 500 billion won). He is predicted to be highly likely to leave for a new team this year when his contract with the Angels ends.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Brian Reynolds was mentioned as the second most likely trader after Ohtani. Third on the list was Atlanta Braves catcher Travis Dano.
