How MLB offseason has shaped the Shohei Ohtani race, and ranking four current favorites to sign him after 2023

The MLB offseason has officially crossed the halfway point. All but five of the top 50 free agents are off the board. Los Angeles Angels didn't consider trading Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers pursued Ohtor as an amateur and are interested in signing him in 2024.   The New Year's Day piece highlights the four teams who are the favorites to employ Ohto. It's more of an art than a science. They might trade for him at the deadline and extend him. or they might try to sign him when the free agent period begins. It is unclear if the sale of Moreno's team will affect Ohtoo's availability.

The Los Angeles Angels have the least chance of keeping their star player, Shohei Ohtani. Ohtorani wants to win a World Series and the team has yet to make the postseason. The team might offer him the richest deal, but he took less money to join Major League Baseball.
