A’s Appear Unlikely To Land Ohtani

Related Topics: Shohei Ohtani

The baseball world is all atwitter — sorry, Elon, I mean all a-X — over where Shohei Ohtani might be announcing he is signing a contract that figures to exceed 1/2 a billion dollars. Ohtani has played it close to the vest throughout, even letting teams know that should his presence in town be leaked he will hold it against that team in negotiations.

As a result, we have little knowledge of what Ohtani is thinking or where he is located. It is a bit of a game of “Where In The World In Carmen Sandiego,” which should not be confused with the idea he is about to sign with the Padres.
