Perry Minasian opened the conference for the MLB General Managers this week in Scotland. In this sports league, Minasian has served as the chief executive for the last three years. Shohei Ohtani is now a valuable agent in addition to being a player. That’s the reason Ohtani was this week’s talk topic for everyone. And the natural place to start was with Minasian.
More about Ohtani’s deal
Next, Minasian placed ice on the surface. The general manager of the Angels mentioned, “I won’t engage in discussions about the matter.” A terrific player, as I’ve said before and will say again. He will be the center of attention. That makes sense. An outstanding athlete.”
The only general manager who refrained from discussing Ohtani directly was Minasian. Although general manager Brandon Gomes and president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman declined to speak with Ohtani, the Dodgers are known for wagering on bringing down a two-way superstar. The majority of others only mentioned him in passing.
As Brian Cashman noted, we must consider all of our options if we are to achieve more favorable outcomes. Hal Steinbrenner, the owner, will ultimately decide what the price tags are and how they will settle.
He’s a great player, to put it briefly, Cashman said. Everyone is aware of it. We’ll talk about what needs to be done, what can be accomplished, and what can’t be determined.
GM of the Astros Dana Brown extended a similar offer.
Are you going to move to get Ohtani outside? Brown replied, “I can’t tell you that we’re all going out, but we can consider some questions.” Questions are definitely welcome.
A.J. Preller was a little more forward; he was an incredible general manager of the Padres.
As a prudent player, Ohtani visited the states, and we looked at a number of locations from a business standpoint to see if it would work. As a result, he is a player with extraordinary talent who will appeal to all 30 teams. As such, he’s a player who will continue to exist after his passing.
Although Ohtani is a very good player, G.M. Bryan Cashman claimed he was a little more circumspect when discussing Ohtani in-depth. Ohtani has amassed 124 home runs and a.964 OPS over the previous three seasons. With 14.3 WAR as a hitter and 14.2 WAR as a pitcher since 2021, Ohtani is the greatest player in American sports history according to baseball statistics.
As far as the NFL quarterback position is concerned, none plays as well for free as Derek Falvey, head of baseball operations for the Twins. It’s simply too unusual. I respect baseball because of it.
Minasian and group: In the off-season, you are not dependent on just one player. It is imperative that you have numerous plans, including A, B, C, and D. We’re going to work, talk a lot, be aggressive, and see where it goes, as usual.
