Sorry, Mets fans, but reigning AL MVP and two-way star free agent Shohei Ohtani isn’t coming to Flushing.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan released his Winter Meetings preview and confirmed that New York is one of three teams out on Ohtani. The Boston Red Sox and World Series champion Texas Rangers have also shifted their focus to other free agents.
Ohtani has spent his entire career with the Angels and is a global sensation for his two-way skills. He just won his second MVP trophy after batting .304 with an AL-best 44 home runs and even 20 steals.
