Ohtani is always doing the unprecedented, and he’s on his way to becoming a freelance agent in about seven months. We will certainly cover this topic from many angles at MLBTR, but I also plan to have more articles on Ohtani that deal with topics not usually covered at MLBTR. These will be located at Ohtani .’s player pageso that those who are looking for enhanced coverage of the man outside the hot furnace news can get.
For example, the Ohtani player page might include articles about his endorsement, regular updates from his in-game performances, and coverage of Cy Young’s MVP and/or opportunities.
