STAMFORD, Conn. -- Oh-no-tani.
Japanese star Shohei Ohtani's agents have told the Yankees he won't sign with them, general manager Brian Cashman told reporters Sunday night.
Ohtani, 23, is considered one of the best talents to have come out of the country and the Yankees were expected to be heavy front runners to nab him.
"We have been informed today that we have been eliminated from the Otani sweepstakes, so we are out," Cashman said. "I got a call (Sunday), this afternoon, the first round was presentations. And I don't know who's invited to Round Two, but we're not.
