Shohei Ohtani ranks among the most talented athletes in MLB. The Japanese player has been a fan favorite since his MLB debut. Not only baseball followers but also managers, coaches, and players have shown admiration for him. Because of his pitching and batting capabilities, every MLB team wants him on their squad. As Shohei Ohtani approaches the end of his tenure with the Los Angeles Angels, speculation abounds in the market regarding his upcoming contract as he prepares to enter free agency.

Many people have even predicted that Ohtani could earn more than half a billion dollars with his next contract. A few days back, his teammate Mike Trout predicted the same in a podcast. Another report regarding the two-way phenom’s potential trade has come up. As it involves trading multiple players, it has left baseballs in a state of confusion.

The New York Mets plans a ‘big Ohtani’ with prospects in plans!

The Mets are one of the MLB teams which have previously shared their openness to signing Shohei Ohtani. Adding to the same, Journalist Héctor Gómez, quoting Bob Porter, shared an update. It read, “Potential Shohei Ohtani trade.” 

According to Gomez, the Mets plan to trade their three prospects for the deal! This list includes the Met’s number 1 prospect, Kevin Parada, third baseman Brett Baty, and others. In reverse, they will sign Ohtani, third baseman Anthony Rendon, and two more players.

The news is shocking for many baseball fans, who have criticized the move to trade players like Prada. Playing for the Brooklyn Cyclones, the 21-year-old has played crucial innings and is averaging 0.268 at an OPS of 0.790. Others have reacted against signing Rendon, who is not in suitable form lately. He also has a $245 Million contract, which will add to the more cost Shohei Ohtani would bring for the Mets. Raising similar voices, other fans have shared their thoughts on the potential trade plan!
