Somebody should ask Shohei Ohtani a really simple question about his free agency:
What is the point of all of this secrecy?
Of course, that would imply that anyone had heard from Ohtani in the past four months. Maybe his silence is Ohtani's choice, or maybe somebody is giving him some really awful advice. But the way this historic free agency has played out is unnecessarily joyless -- and completely antithetical to the way Ohtani competes, the way he loves his craft.
His short journey through free agency could have been a celebration of baseball.
