All eyes have been on Shohei Ohtani this offseason as it appears he is headed north of the border.
According to multiple sources, the two-way superstar has ended the suspense of the most lucrative free-agent pursuit in baseball history and is expected to sign with the Toronto Blue Jays.
One user on Reddit thinks he broke the case as to why Ohtani is preferring to play in Toronto.
The post described how Ohtani pitched against the team at Rogers Centre, a game where the Angels would win. After the game, Ohtani could be seen heading back to the mound because he liked the feel of it. Footage was even found from the moment.
The exact value of Ohtani’s contract is not known but it is expected to shatter the value of Mike Trout’s record 12-year, $426.5 million deal with the Angels.
The allure of joining a team like the Blue Jays was too much for Ohtani. He will be the face of an entire nation and his market will only get bigger. If you want to know how it will look, just remember how Toronto fans treated Kawhi Leonard after he won an NBA Championship. It will be that times 20.
Just this past season, Ohtani put together his best year yet, slashing .304/.412/.654 with 44 home runs, 95 runs batted in, 26 doubles, eight triples, 20 stolen bases, and an OPS of 1.066. On the mound, he posted an ERA of 3.14 and struck out 167 batters in 132 innings.
