Yet another day and yet another player has stepped up to ask for Shohei Ohtani’s hand in their union as teammates. Sho-time is a highly coveted player. Every team, every player wants him to put ink on paper and sign with their teams. There’s news every other day about teams wanting the two-way electrifying sensation, knowing that Ohtani might just be the best player in the whole of Major League Baseball right now.

And just when the baseball world thought the competition couldn’t get any fiercer, enter another player from the Chicago Cubs, Seiya Suzuki, who has thrown his hat into the ring. Suzuki, an All-Star player from the Nippon Professional Baseball league, joined the Chicago Cubs in 2022 and has wasted no time in extending a warm invitation to Ohtani.

MLB managers are on the edge of their seats ready to jump out the second Ohtani becomes a free agent after this season. As the 2021 MVP prepares to potentially embark on a new direction of his career, teams are preparing their blank cheques in hopes of luring him onto their rosters with staggering paychecks.

However, despite the frenzy of activity surrounding him, Ohtani remains focused on his current team and their pursuit of a playoff berth, at least until the next 9 months.
