Shohei Ohtani, the biggest name in the sport, is the name you dare not speak or reveal any details about.
The Yankees' trade for Alex Verdugo does not preclude them from still landing their main target, Juan Soto. In fact, they were re-engaged with the Padres to try to obtain the star outfielder.
Hal was indeed a driving force behind this trade, in which the Yankees gave up four talented young pitchers plus catcher Kyle Higashioka, The Post's Jon Heyman writes.
It isnt known what other teams Ohtani may have singled out for preference, but a clubhouse source noted Ohtani specifically said he couldnt see himself playing in New York.
Japanese starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto may be the most popular free agent ever at least among big-market clubs and thats why execs are predicting he may cost the signing team as much as $300 million, including the posting fee.
