The race to add two-way baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani in a blockbuster free agency deal is off to a clandestine start.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — “Special player, that’s all I’ll say,” said Chris Young, general manager of the World Series champion Texas Rangers. “We’re going to be interested in looking at everything that’s available that can make us better,” New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. “We may ask some questions, but I can’t tell you we’re diving all in,” Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said.
Ohtani has reached a celebrity status that few other current baseball players can even imagine, and his arrival in any city would undoubtedly mean a huge boost for fan interest. Instead of setting the free agent market this offseason, Ohtani is a market all his own. “He brings so much to the game, so much excitement, he’s got a fan base, he’s an exciting player,” said Brown, the Astros GM.
