Milwaukee Brewers: During peak MLB trade rumor season it is often hard to differentiate between what information is factual and what isn’t. This year Los Angeles two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani is at the epicenter of those rumors.
As a two-way player Shohei Ohtani is doing baseball things that shouldn’t be possible. He’s been incredible over the past five seasons, but this year he is executing at an even higher level as both a pitcher and a hitter. With an expiring contract this makes him highly coveted by essentially every team.
For the Brewers their odds at landing him via trade are very small. However that did not stop one Wisconsin radio station from hilariously getting GM Matt Arnold to admit to interest in Shohei Ohtani.
