Door still open for Mets, Yankees after latest Shohei Ohtani contract update

Two-way MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani currently plays for the Los Angeles Angels. He’s done that since making his big-league debut in 2018. That won’t change in 2023 (for now, at least). However, the next few months will be focused on where he’ll be playing after the trade deadline and beyond.

The Mets and Yankees have been linked to Ohtani on multiple occasions. For those still hoping either New York can eventually reel him in, they got encouraging news this week.

The beginning of spring training means players are available to speak with the media for the first time.
