One of the biggest storylines of the MLB’s 2023 season is the thing that’s coming after it — Shohei Ohtani’s free agency. At the end of this season, the incredible two-way superstar will be a free agent, and will be available to sign with any team for just about any amount of money he wants.
Way ahead of his free agency, and on the cusp of the MLB’s 2023 season after Ohtani’s performance in the World Baseball, our very own Doug McKain caught up with former MLB player and current Dodgers analyst Jose Mota. McKain spoke with Mota about Ohtani’s impeding free agency, and what he saw from him as he broadcasted Japan’s games in the WBC.
