"Shohei Otani's FA and future"

Apparently Acuña of the National League was named MVP of both leagues for his 40 bases and 70 stolen bases. There is a trend in major leagues where no matter how active a player is, he is not evaluated based on his popularity alone. I'm sure Otani-dono thought it was essential for him to play a full season or to put up numbers in situations close to that. There seems to be a lot of buzz online about him staying with the Angels as a free agent or signing a long-term, large-scale contract with another team, but I think we need to look at it calmly. If I were the owner of another baseball team, I would expect recurrence of injuries and a slump due to fatigue caused by strain on other parts of the body, and the expiry date of two-way players is near, and above all, the revision of MLB rules would make it easier for DH batters. Due to his being treated as such, competition for his position with other players will become fierce, and there are concerns that he will not be able to achieve good results as a batter. Even if his right elbow recovers in 2025, the burden on the team that employs him will increase because the surgery was done from the perspective of not knowing when it will come back (though I think Tommy John surgery would have been better). Degozarou. If MLB's double-hook system is implemented, it is predicted that there will not be enough regular at-bats if he only plays as a DH, so Otani may be included in the starting lineup as a fielder. In addition, it is clear that MLB rules are being revised more and more, such as the introduction of designated runners and automatic referees. The martial arts of baseball, which has been abandoned by the NBA, American football, and ice hockey, exists not for the sake of a single player, but for the survival of fans, teams, and the base of MLB. This is not just a one-time success for Otani-dono. Oyakata-sama also agrees that the best option for him is to bury his bones with the caring (?) Angels.
