It would seem that the Shohei Ohtani saga is dragging along at the same snail’s pace as the Yankees managerial search.
So as we patiently wait for news to break on one, if not both fronts, it’s time to consider the Yankees’ options should Ohtani decide he doesn’t want to play in the Bronx.
While nine-of-out-10 outlets would have you believe New York (and not the Mets) is atop the leaderboard for Ohtani’s signature, until we see the 23-year-old pitcher/hitter, who was recently compared to Jacob deGrom by MLB Network’s Tom Verducci, don that iconic navy blue interlocking NY cap, I’m not sold.
