Two days ago, Los Angeles Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani returned to the United States after spending the offseason in his home country, Japan.
Although Ohtani has an Instagram account, he is not very active there. However, once he landed on American soil, he took to the social media platform to post a slew of pictures announcing he was back.
"Goodbye Japan...Hello US," he captioned the post.
Ohtani is entering his final season under contract with the Angels. After the 2023 season, Shohei Ohtani will enter the free-agent market. If Ohtani chooses to leave, it might be disappointing for the Los Angeles Angels.
As per Sports Illustrated, the New York Mets have a high probability of approaching Othani.
