Shohei Ohtani has arrived to Japan after he cleared out his locker at the Angel’s lockerroom, this comes after he sustained an injury that prevented him from pitching. There is a lot of buzz as to where Ohtani will land after he becomes a free agent and there are many theories, but some point to Boston.

Despite his injury status, Ohtani will be possibly the most sought-after free agent the league has ever seen once his contract ends this Fall. No one knows whether Ohtani will want to stay in L.A. or search for greener pastures. But according to Peter Gammons, Ohtani could be on his way to Boston soon.
Journalist Pete Gammons who has been covering baseball for over 50 years, so his reporting is not something to take with a grain of salt. Boston is one of the biggest markets in the country and the Red Sox are one of the most successful franchises in MLB.
Although Shohei claimed that he’d stay with the Angeles, Ohtani began saying goodbye this week and in an unexpected turn of events, he left for his country. Many believe, he will go to recover and be back ready for next season.
