The 2023 regular season was awaited by many to begin. With its competitiveness, the ongoing season has fulfilled all the wishes. It is visible in the ongoing playoff battle, as many teams are still fighting to stay alive for the rest of the season. But this is not all why fans awaited for the 2023 season to come alive. Another reason for their excitement was Shohei Ohtani, who is likely to leave the Los Angeles Angels. It looked real during the transfer window but didn’t materialize as Ohtani stayed committed to end the season with Halos. But with the latest update, it seems he has changed his move.

When it became clear that the Two Way Phenom would leave the Halos, everyone thought him to make a move as soon as possible. But the Japanese wonder cleared all with his continued fight for the team, even with the injuries. However, it all changed after his continuous absence, and the news of him clearing the team locker added to the case. But nothing was clear about his stay with the Angels. However, now, it feels like Sho-time, with his other move, has confirmed the rumors of his permanent move.

Shohei Ohtani Spotted at an Airport in Japan

Over the past few days, all eyes were on the 31-year-old star. The reason behind it was his absence from the team pictures and lineups, even after the positive updates on his return. It made many speculate that it was the end of Troutani. But his presence after missing out on his 11th consecutive game in the team clubhouse fueled the rumors. Soon after it, everything changed as the $500 million approaching star cleared his team locker.

An apparent departure for Japan has been hinted at through a video post by an X user. “BREAKING: Shohei Ohtani has been spotted at an airport in Japan after clearing out his locker in the Angels locker room,” the update read.

If Ohtani is currently in Japan, it’s undeniably a significant development. Given there are only a few games left in the playoffs, with the Angels almost out of the playoffs, there is no chance of him playing again for them. With the future indicating a move away, it seems, Ohtani has brought his Angels’ career to a close with this move.

It Was All About Ohtani After His MLB Debut

The star player from Japan debuted in 2018 after signing a deal with the Angels. He became a hit since his first season. It made him a star of Los Angeles but of the masses. Notably, with his skill set, he also forced the team and the league to make changes, which eventually became crucial in his becoming a two-way phenom.
