As the moment of decision draws near, a frontrunner has emerged from the pool of teams vying for his signature.
As per OddsShark, the Los Angeles Dodgers lead the race with the highest likelihood at -140. The transition from Anaheim to Los Angeles would be a short one for Ohtani, but its ramifications for the league would be monumental. Joining forces with former MVPs Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, Ohtani would bolster a Dodgers team that has consistently ranked among the best in baseball over the past decade.
The Toronto Blue Jays follow closely with the second-best odds to secure Ohtani, presenting a unique challenge for the two-time AL MVP. Opting for Canada could position Ohtani as a leading figure not only in Japan but also in another country, solidifying his status as the face of the sport on an international scale.
