It’s my favorite time of year. The trade season is upon us, which means that the peddling of wares around the league has begun in earnest. No name that is supposedly available is bigger than that of Shohei Ohtani, presuming he is even available at all. That means that all teams that are even considering making a run at the postseason have likely dialed into Anaheim to gauge the necessary price to acquire the modern day Babe Ruth (side note: can we stop calling him the “modern Babe Ruth” and start just calling him Shohei Ohtani?).
That also means that people are going to try and figure out how to get Ohtani to their team, or to any team for that matter.
