He provided a hazy response.

Ohtani will not play in this series against the Yankees. But he put on a show for Judge, the Yankees, and everyone at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday.

Will Ohtani be able to play for the Yankees in 2024? Baseball fans had mixed reactions when Judge said that.

Because he is so good as both a batter and a pitcher, Ohtani will command a high salary (or a lot of high salaries) in free agency.Green's leg was grabbed by Sabonis, and it was clear that he did it on purpose.

The New York Yankees are one of the few teams with enough money to sign him. They will, however, not be alone in their mission.
