The most recent failure of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB playoffs has accentuated their need to add Shohei Ohtani to the team, even if he cannot pitch for the entire 2024 season.
But the Dodgers have faced competition: reports from Major League journalists indicate that the Japanese is being pursued by other large-market teams that are coming off a disappointing campaign.
The New York clubs and their large checkbooks are now joined by the Boston Red Sox on the list of rivals who could “steal” Ohtani in free agency.
There was no way to predict that the Yankees would fail so miserably in 2023, but that’s what happened. Along the way they realized that pitching is not the only department they must attend to: no matter what it takes, the offense needs a strong man to help to Aaron Judge, especially with the doubts hanging over Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo. Taking Ohtani (who bats left-handed and has hit 44 home runs, driven in 95 runs and averaged .304) to the Bronx could be the blow they need to get to the World Series.
