San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants have been quiet in the Ohtani sweepstakes, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing with his wishes. The Giants fell short in the Aaron Judge sweepstakes, and it's well-known they've been looking for a new face of the franchise. Can the Giants pull this off quietly? We wouldn't put it past them, especially with the radio silence coming from their camp.
The Latest on Shohei Ohtani's Free Agency
The free agent decision for Shohei Ohtani appears to be reaching a conclusion. SportsGrid details what is known about the Japanese superstar and his market.
Los Angeles Angels
There are many wondering if there's a chance Ohtani will decide to stay with Angels. This possibility can't be ruled out yet. Ohtani is a creature of habit and likes consistency, but can the Angels give him a real opportunity to win? You'd like to think Ohtani would want some proof that this team will be in better shape moving forward, and that hasn't happened yet.
Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers have long been viewed as the frontrunner to land Ohtani in free agency. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts already broke the cone of silence that the club had a good meeting with the Japanese phenom, and nobody really knows yet if that will ultimately alter Ohtani's line of thinking about the Dodgers. There haven't been a lot of clues that the Dodgers' chances of landing Ohtani have been hindered, but other teams in the running have reportedly upped the ante and made this interesting.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly viewed as a serious threat to land Ohtani. Reports indicate Ohtani visited the Blue Jays spring training facility, which has been revamped recently and is widely seen as the new standard in the industry. If Ohtani doesn't sign with one of the LA teams, the Blue Jays are the next best bet to acquire his services. There was a time when the Blue Jays weren't considered a serious threat, but that's reportedly no longer the case and has made this much more interesting.
