Los Angeles Angels superstar and 2024 free agent Shohei Ohtani has been in the Bronx for a series against the New York Yankees. Besides his rocket home runs, much of the talk around Ohtani has surrounded his pending free agent status- and how that relates to the Yankees.
The Yankees are selling Ohtani’s Japan jerseys in one of their team stores- and star Aaron Judge stopped just short of recruiting the Angels 2021 American League MVP.
Ohtani returned the favor on Wednesday, revealing that it’s “really fun” to play at Yankee Stadium, per Fox Sports MLB.
“It’s a beautiful field. Passionate fans. I always look forward to playing here. It’s really fun playing here.”
Any Yankees fan reading that has likely fallen out of their chair, so let’s all give them a moment to compose themselves.
