Just like Jersey Ohtani wants to be evaluated in the market

Just like Jersey Ohtani wants to be evaluated in the market No meaningful discussion during the season.

LA Angels’ Ohtani Shohei (29) is expected to enter the FA market.

Major League Baseball’s official website MLB.com quoted Ohtani’s agent Nez Valero on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) saying, “Otani is likely to enter the FA market in the stove league without negotiating a long-term contract with the Angels during the regular season.”

Valero said, “Me and Ohtani have talked about the contract several times. I am asked once a day. Otani can play for the Angels for one season. “We plan to explore the trend of the FA market,” he said adding, “It is difficult to have a meaningful discussion about the extension contract during the season,” adding, “Otani will be valued in the FA market.”

Otani joined the Angels in 2018 and made his big league debut the same year. In 2021, he was unanimously selected as the American League MVP, and in the 2022 season, he recorded double-digit wins and home runs in 104 years since Babe Ruth. In addition, he achieved regulation innings and regulation at-bats for the first time in Major League Baseball history, standing tall as the main character in history.

Individual performance was excellent, but team performance was not. Otani has never made a postseason appearance with the Angels. Like all players, Ohtani is thirsty for victory. Valero said, “Otani has been in the Angels for five years. This year is the last year of the contract. Otani is competitive like all good players. “Of course, I want to experience the postseason,” he said.

If Ohtani comes to the FA market, he may sign a contract with the remaining amount in Major League history. Aaron Judge also rejected the New York Yankees’ eight-year, $230.5 million extension contract and signed a nine-year, $360 million contract in the FA market 파워볼사이트

Otani’s future throughout the season is expected to be spotlighted. There is a year left until the FA qualification, but the market’s eyes were on Ohtani. Some predicted that he would sign a $500 million contract for the first time in Major League Baseball history. Currently, Angels Mike Trout is the highest-paid player with 12 years and $426.5 million.
