Are the Yankees actually interested in Angels two-way Japanese superstar and former MVP Shohei Ohtani? They’re certainly implying as such even with the star player’s clear West Coast bias. The crosstown rival Mets have also expressed serious interest in signing Ohtani as a free agent in the offseason, maybe even sooner if he’s available in a trade.
Except if one were to ask the Angels, that’s not happening. Jon Heyman of the New York Post spoke to someone in the organization who said there’s “no chance” Ohtani is traded.
