On Monday, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union Tribune reported, and our own Vikram Muduvadi followed up on that story, that in addition to San Diego Padres rumors, the other teams making the cut include the Seattle Mariners, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels (of Anaheim), Texas Rangers and Chicago Cubs.
According to a variety of sources, including Bryan Mcwilliam on thescore.com, Ohtani will meet with the Padres Wednesday.
Of course, the Padres have already tried the experiment of pitcher/position player with Christian Bethancourt, and the outcome has not been positive especially at the major league level.
