Because of the 30 allegiances, there are very few points when the entire MLB world syncs its voice. In the recent past, showing support for the Oakland Athletics became one such point, with other remains to be Two Way phenom Shohei Ohtani. The Japanese star has a magical ability that gives him immense love and respect from every section of the baseball world. It was visible when fans showed their love for the star during the All-Star game. Because it happened in Seattle, it was a special moment that few players could ever get.

But from the latest scenes unfolded in Texas, it seems every city is a home for the Japanese wonder. And given that Ohtani is approaching the end of their contract at the Angels, with a focus on free agency, fans want him to join their teams. And after Seattle showed the way, the Texas Rangers fans followed suit with chants during the Angels and Rangers’ game. It gave the MLB world another opportunity to share their thoughts on the future of the most loved star.

Fans welcome Shohei Ohtani to Texas

Shohei Ohtani is an exception when it comes to team rivalries. From fans, managers, and players, everyone has shared their admiration for the player, and it transforms into love wherever he goes. The same happened when he stepped on the baseball field in Texas with fans giving a cheer to Ohtani. A Twitter user shared a video of this incident. It read, “Come to TEXAS chants for Shohei Ohtani!!!!”

Notably, it added another chapter to Ohtani’s future. Since the free agency reports have come up, there are estimations that Ohtani could cost more than $500 million to the teams. Given that the Rangers are playing well and could finish this season on a high, they could pull Ohtani as he looks for World Series success. And with a good budget, they have all the sources to make the deal happen. But the move won’t be easy to make because of the competition in the market.

Shohei’s love for Seattle could end Rangers’ dream

Though the fans in Texas have shared their liking for Ohtani, many factors could halt their dream’s transformation into reality. The first is the well-planned New York Mets, who are eager to sign him from long ago. Then comes Ohtani’s liking for Seattle, which adds to the rumors of him joining them after the 2023 season.

But according to his interview in the past with SNY, Ohtani is more inclined towards a team capable of making the playoffs. He said, “Yeah, those feelings get stronger year by year. It stinks to lose. He wants to win.”
