The Yankees welcomed Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels to town for a three-game set starting on Tuesday night. Clarke Schmidt immediately surrendered a two-run homer to Ohtani in the first inning, which sparked an eventual 5-2 win for the visitors.
We’ve spent a lot of time in recent days talking about how the Mets are seen as a favorite to land Ohtani next winter in free agency. Heck, one Mets fan already had a custom jersey made for when the news becomes official (which is a stretch).
However, the two-way superstar told the Yankees back in 2017 he couldn’t see himself playing in New York.
