Shoehie Ohtani’s 2023 season has come to an end.

He has officially put on the IL (injured list) with an oblique injury and will miss the remainder of the season.


It kind of started in a weird way, where, um, last night, Friday night, um, it was just announced that his locker was empty. But there was no information on anything. Um… The Angels wouldn’t say anything about it. And now today it is announced that the oblique injury is what he is going on the IL for.

Look, here’s what I know about obliques. Right, they linger and apparently his just continued to linger. And so instead of waiting and trying to wait till it’s perfect…

Look, he’s already 12 days removed from playing in games and it makes no sense at this point to push it and risk further injury at this point in this season.

So I absolutely believe that this is the right decision for him to be shut down for the remainder of the season.


But there is no doubt in my mind, Shohei Ohtani will be the 2023 American League MVP for what he did this year. No doubt in my mind. It is happening. He will win his second one.

And, um, absolutely deserved and this last couple weeks to month of the season where the UCL tear came about, and then the oblique, and now shutting it down for the remainder. It’s the right decision to shut him down.

And it does not change, in my opinion, who’s going to win the AL MVP this year. And that’s gonna be Shohei Ohtani.

I’m not saying Shoehie Ohtani isn’t a special player…

Ride this guy until he breaks!

Him not pitching full year is going to affect his market value.

And he broke. In that game he’s clutching his side!

I am saying there is a limit to what you can pay one player.


Well, what’s your view of what you’ve seen this year?

I… I think he’s doing everything he can to, to maximize his value. And, and if I’m a GM (general manager) and I’m in one of those, um… If I’m making decisions, he’s a special player. There’s no… there’s nobody like him. I get it. But my take on this is that if I’m a GM, I sign this guy as a hitter only. And I’ll tell you why. He’s already breaking down. He’s 29 years old!

I’m with you, but he said… but he will probably say ‘no’ to that. Right? Or at least until he has to.

When then, then I don’t sign him, but if… if…

That’s… Well, that’s where you’re at then.


So he is, bizarrely, he’s the most special player I’ve ever seen, but he’s a heavily managed player that causes you unique roster construction issues. That’s why you utilize them only as an offensive player. That’s… Put him in right field, let him DH and go, go at it.

Completely fair and I agree with you, but that won’t get the player. Which I would be fine with. And I wonder how of the rest of the league thinks that while we hear; 500, 600, you can’t pay this guy enough.
