the Angels’ two-way star arrives in The Bronx on Tuesday for a series against the Yankees — as fans dream about Shohei Ohtani picking their team once he becomes a free agent after this season.
A mix of buzz and wonderment follows Shohei Ohtani wherever he goes, waiting for him to unleash a triple-digit fastball or turn around and hit a ball 450 feet — sometimes in the same game.
The Yankees didn’t make the second round of talks in 2017 when Ohtani first made the jump from Japan to MLB, and The Post’s Jon Heyman reported that Ohtani told the Yankees he couldn’t envision himself in New York .Still, the Yankees tried to acquire Ohtani at the trade deadline last summer before the Angels ultimately held onto him, The Post previously reported.
Judge — who called Ohtani “by far one of the best players on this planet” after beating him out for the AL MVP last November — just landed $360 million over nine years, but a team would then have to account for Ohtani’s pitching on top of that.
