Shohei Ohtani got a sparse response in his return to Anaheim, showing why signing with Dodgers was the best move.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter that Shohei Ohtani offered the Angels a chance to match the Dodgers’ offer or whether he would have re-signed with them if they had. He ended up where he was supposed to be. The point was driven home Tuesday when Ohtani made his return to Angel Stadium. Exactly one year after he played his final game for the Angels, Ohtani stepped into the batter’s box at his former stadium for the first time as a visiting player. He didn’t receive a deafening ovation.
He said that rather than think about what the Angels did or didn’t do, he was “grateful for the teams that evaluated me highly.” Did that mean he thought the Angels didn’t hold him in the same regard? For argument’s sake, say that Ohtani wanted to re-sign the Angels. What does that mean? Nothing. The player doesn’t always know best. Rewind three years.
