The Mets are looking for a player who can make a move for Shohei Ohtani, who is expected to become a free agent this offseason. The Mets, with their abundance of money, are likely to make a move, according to the official MLB watchdog site.
Shohei Ohtani is “a player who can still perform in 2026,” according to MLB’s official Mets reporter.
Anthony DiComo, MLB’s official MLB reporter, says, “The Mets are more likely to acquire him. Before Ohtani was injured, his next contract was also expected to be worth $600 million (¥87.9 billion), and he said, “I don’t think the Mets were willing to pay $600 million. I don’t think the Mets were willing to pay $600 million. If it was a shorter, cheaper contract, this team, which is well-funded and wants to win, would definitely consider taking it,” he predicts.
The Mets made a major pitching splash this season, but were unable to make a dent in the market, releasing big-name pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander midway through the season. DiComo explained that the team’s decision was made because they were “looking a little bit into the future. He said that the team’s promising players will emerge in 2025 and 2026, and Ohtani, too, “is a player who can still produce in 2026. He will not rule it out because he will still be in his early 30s then,” he also stated.
He also stressed that even if Ohtani were to undergo a second Tommy John surgery, he would not change his mind. Shohei has great value in both pitching and hitting. He may be the best hitter of all time,” he said, referring to Aaron Judge’s nine-year, $360 million contract with the Yankees last offseason.
He says, “Considering the contract Judge got, he would get a lot of money even if he wasn’t a pitcher.” He added, “It’s how much you think it’s worth for him to eventually pitch.”
When Ohtani appeared at Citi Field, the Mets’ home field, there was an unusual chant of “Sign with the Mets. He was surprised at this scene, saying, “All of us want to get him. It’s unusual. He added, “It’s the same no matter which stadium you go to, Mets, Yankees, or Dodgers ……. If we can get Shohei, the fans of those teams will be very satisfied.
