(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 fetch more than $500 million on the free-agent market.
“He hides his game very well,” commented Roberts.
The meeting lasted between two and three hours.
“We want to respect Shohei’s wishes to keep this process private,” Roberts added. But obviously rumors are circulating. I don’t think I should share with you the content of our discussions. »
Roberts hesitated briefly, before offering some details.
“The possibility is very real,” he confided. Yeah, we met him. I like to be honest, so we met Shohei, we talked and I think it went well. I think it went well, but in the end, he will make the best decision for the rest of his career, to be as comfortable as possible. »
