Ohtani's Future Uncertain as He Seeks Record Contract Despite UCL Tear

Ohtani is expected to receive a contract worth over $500 million this offseason, potentially the largest in MLB history.
He had a successful 2022 season with the Angels, but has a torn UCL that may require Tommy John surgery.
There is uncertainty about his future as a pitcher due to the UCL injury, but he is exploring alternative treatment options.
Ohtani is likely to leave the Angels in free agency, with the Dodgers, Rangers, Mariners, Mets and Red Sox as potential destinations.
Despite the injury, most executives still expect Ohtani to surpass Aaron Judge's $360 million contract.
