With the Yankees fighting to hold their season together in a competitive AL East without star outfielder Aaron Judge, who has been out since early June with a torn ligament in his toe, it may take a drastic move to keep New York afloat in the playoff hunt.
Enter Shohei Ohtani, possibly.
The do-everything star of the Angels in Ohtani is set to hit free agency this winter, and Los Angeles could decide to deal him in an effort at least get something in return. Specifically, the franchise could opt to make this move if it believes Ohtani is likely to walk at the end of the season.
