The week started with reports of Ohtani nearing a deal, but those were soon contradicted by less-exciting reports that he had not yet made up his mind. Then, as Ohtani was expected to be traveling in a private jet, it turned out that he was chilling at home, leaving everyone wondering about his next move.

Despite all the buzz, there isn’t much to report in terms of actual progress in Ohtani’s free agency. As the wait continues, fans and analysts are left to ponder what the next move might be for the highly sought-after Japanese star.
