The Sunday Read: Will Shohei Ohtani’s decision affect the Rangers’ intentions going forward?

The significant news from Shohei Ohtani’s camp in the last month is that the baseball star got a puppy named Malort.

Some have noted that the dog’s ears are too hairy for it to be a purebred, despite the fact that many think it is a beagle. On the other hand, owning a mixed-breed dog is OK.

Ohtani is a special player who has amazing speed on the field and excels as a pitcher as well as a hitter. He is a free agent for the first time in his career, and a lot of teams are fighting for his services. He might take a look at joining the Texas Rangers, according to rumors.

On the other hand, Ohtani’s signing location and date remain unknown. Interestingly, just one prominent free agent has signed a contract thus far, and that is Aaron Nola (Phillies).

It is likely that the most anticipated agreements have not yet been consummated because it is still too early in the offseason. The business of baseball may take a backseat until Ohtani chooses his next team due to the unique nature of his skills and the potential value of his contract.
