Shohei Ohtani, impact of injury … MLB official site asks executives of each team
Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani has revealed damage to the medial collateral ligament of his right elbow and has decided not to pitch as a pitcher this season. He’s now an off-free agent, but will that affect his future? Ask team executives on the MLB official website. Some say he’s been hit hard, he’s been cut by billions, and others say he won’t change much on long-term contracts.
When asked, “How will Ohtani’s injury affect his market (value)?” a National League executive said, “It goes without saying that the degree of injury affects the market, but surgery Whether it’s conservative treatment or not, I think the total contract amount is going to be cut in the hundreds of millions (dollars).
Another executive said, “My first thought was, ‘Wow, now he’s like a half.’ I don’t think a team can pay for the idea of working long term.He’s a great hitter and could be a relief pitcher, but his value and uniqueness have taken a big hit this time.” Point out.
Also, “It’s tough to sign a player who can only do DH.” He’s going to be signed – assuming he can hit again at the start of next season. I had an opinion.
On the other hand, there is also an opinion that the value does not change. “It is too early to say anything until we know the full extent of[the injury]. Either it paves the way for a one-year contract,” said one American League executive.
He also said, “(If he had a long-term contract), he would have plenty of time to play as a pitcher even if he had to miss a period next year. He’s hit more than 40 home runs, so that part (TJ surgery) will be taken care of. I think there will be teams that will tolerate it,” he said. How will Otani’s contract end?
