The Toronto Blue Jays are now among the teams vying for the services of Shohei Ohtani, a superstar in Major League Baseball, this offseason.

Ohtani has been a top-tier baseball player with the Los Angeles Angels throughout his Major League Baseball career, which began in 2018 after he immigrated to the United States.

The New York Post reports that the 29-year-old Ohtani may be considering a trade to Canada at this time because the team has failed to make the playoffs since his arrival and because he is not currently under contract.

Ohtani is anticipated to demand the richest contract in Major League Baseball history and is widely believed to be the league’s most valuable free agent.

A fellow Angel, Mike Trout, extended his existing contract by two years and received a huge salary increase when he inked a $426.5 million, twelve-year covenant in 2019.

Outfielder Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees got a nine-year, $360 million contract last offseason, making it the biggest free-agent deal in baseball history. The Yankees kept Judge.

Everyone thinks the Angels, Cubs, and Dodgers are all playing a big role in the Ohtani contest.

The Angels’ American League West rivals, the Texas Rangers, have allegedly begun to look elsewhere for players as the process progresses, suggesting that other teams may enter the picture.

In 2023, the Blue Jays were a Wild Card team with a regular season record of 89-73. Their season came to a close as the Minnesota Twins swept them in two games.

Because of his skills as a pitcher and hitter, Ohtani has been named American League MVP twice in the past three years.

Despite having elbow surgery in September, Ohtani’s worth remained high, and he is not projected to throw again until the 2025 season begins.
