Shohei Ohtani, 28, who will become a free agent in the off-season of 2023, will become the highest-paid player in history with a contract worth $500 million, ESPN’s Jeff Passan has predicted.
The U.S. media’s attention has already turned to Ohtani, who is expected to sign his next record-breaking contract.
Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (30) decided to stay with the Yankees for a nine-year, $360 million (¥50.4 billion) contract, the highest annual average in history for a fielder, but the U.S. media’s attention has already turned to Ohtani, who is expected to sign his next record-breaking contract.
On December 7, the reporter appeared on Web TV’s sports talk show “The Pat McAfee Show” to share his views on the MLB FA market, stating that “Otani will be the first player to exceed $500 million. As for Ohtani, Angels GM Minassian has said that he wants to stay with the team for the long term, and there are reports that the Dodgers would be aggressive in acquiring him if he becomes a FA.
However, the same reporter said, “I can’t say that Ohtani will sign with the Dodgers. The Yankees will also try to acquire him. The Mets will also try to acquire him because they have Cohen, who has a lot of money. The Cubs and Red Sox will also try to acquire him,” he said, predicting that it will be a battle among prestigious teams with strong financial resources.
