Most of Major League Baseball agrees that the Los Angeles Angels’ contract with Shohei Ohtani will not be renewed after the upcoming season.

The news that he had a torn UCL in his right arm and would need Tommy John surgery, effectively ending his pitching career in 2024, was devastating to his market worth.

Ԁespite his elbоw injury, he shоulԀ still be а highly sоught-аfter free аgent. Even with оhtаni’s limitаtiоns, there mаy still be а biԀԀing wаr fоr the twо-wаy superstаr. Which teаms will pursue him is yet unknоwn.

A recent article from Bleacher Report ranked the “6 worst fits” for Ohtani in professional sports. Teams like the Padres, Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Giants, and Angels may all be included on that list.

Whether or not each franchise is a good fit for the two-way superstar and former MVP is discussed in the essay by Zachary D. Rymer.

After Ohtani recovers from Tommy John surgery, any of the six teams could easily afford to add him to their lineup or rotation. It’s worth noting, though, that both squads have some weaknesses.

The Red Sox are now looking for a new President of Baseball Operations after having recently parted ways with Chaim Bloom.

The dimensions may be a reason why neither the Padres nor the Giants are the ideal options for the slugger and former MVP.

Since making his MLB debut, he has only known the Angels as a team, but they haven’t made the playoffs since 2014, and the Yankees are in need of starting pitching but couldn’t utilize him in that capacity next season.

In the Bronx, Ohtani has a career ERA of 27.00.

Any winter league team that signs Ohtani will face benefits and drawbacks. According to the publication, the six teams mentioned are the “worst fits” for the two-way star.
