(Nashville) Shohei Ohtani met with the Los Angeles Dodgers a few days ago at Dodger Stadium, manager Dave Roberts revealed during the Major Baseball Winter Conference on Tuesday.
Ohtani, a one-of-a-kind complete player, is expected to command more than $500 million on the free agent market.
“He hides his game very well,” said Roberts.
The meeting lasted between two and three hours.
“We want to respect Shohei’s desire to keep this process private,” Roberts added. But obviously rumors are circulating. I don’t think I should share the content of our discussions with you. »
Roberts hesitated briefly before offering some details.
“The possibility is very real”, he confided. Yes, we know him. I like to be honest, so we met Shohei, we talked and I think everything went well. I think he did well, but in the end he will make the best decision for the rest of his career, to be as comfortable as possible. »
