Mets’ Ottavino: “The important thing is comfort and fit”
The departure of pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who became a free agent from the Angels, is attracting attention even among current players. In a video broadcast by New York broadcaster SNY, Mets pitcher Adam Ottavino, who pitched in 66 games this season, talked about Ohtani.
[PR]A legendary conversation between Okada and Kakefu has been realized. The behind-the-scenes story of Hanshin Dokou V revealed to his allies and his strategy to become the best in Japan
When host Sal Licata asked him, “What kind of conversations are there among current players about Shohei Ohtani?” Ottavino answered, “It took him so long (to get to this point), but he’s already one of the best players in history. “There’s a debate that he’s the best player. He’s doing things like we’ve never seen him do before, and everyone (including the players) is watching his departure.”
“There are times when we’re sitting in the dugout and we watch his at-bats on the iPad, and that’s not the game we’re playing. Everyone has to look at him[in other games]. Licata was impressed, saying, “It means a lot to me to see my players and colleagues in shock, saying, “Wow!”
When Mr. Licata asked, “How can we get Ohtani away from the West Coast?” John Jestrzemski, a commentator on the station, replied, “Show me the money! It’s easy! Shohei Ohtani is in this town.” If he wants to come, that’s what he should do.Owner Steve Cohen has the most financial power.If he wants Ohtani, he has to make the highest bid.That’s a lot of money,” he said with a laugh as he made an “proposal.”
Ottavino responded, “For some players, the more they offer, the better. But for Ohtani, money is not an issue. He makes about $50 million off the field every year. I always have money, so what’s important is comfort and fit,” he said in his personal opinion.
