Ohtani's Free Agency Holds MLB Market in Suspense

Two-time MVP Expected to Sign Richest Contract in American Sports History Despite Injury

Shohei Ohtani, the two-time American League MVP, is expected to sign the richest contract in American sports history, despite an elbow injury that will likely prevent him from pitching in 2024.
Estimates for Ohtani's contract go as high as 10 years for $500 million.
Ohtani's decision is holding up the free agent market, with many teams waiting to see where he signs before making their own moves.
Potential teams for Ohtani include the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels, Chicago Cubs, Toronto Blue Jays, and San Francisco Giants.
Ohtani's free agency has been marked by secrecy, with his camp warning teams that any media leaks will be held against them.
