The MLB Hot Stove is really Hot Stovin’. A free agent class led by Shohei Ohtani, Cody Bellinger, and as always…Rich Hill.
But there’s an old familiar face that no one seems to be paying attention to…Ichiro.
Footage dropped Tuesday of Ichiro’s most recent outing, and it did not dissapoint:
I mean…that’s insane.
In the age of Ohtani, what Ichiro’s doing at 50 may just be more impressive. A 50 year old throwing a complete game, almost hitting 90 on the gun, all while going 2-5 at the plate? Guy’s still got it!
Shohei’s probably going to get a half a billion dollar contract. While baseball doesn’t have a salary cap, why wouldn’t a forward thinking GM go chess not checkers and pinch a few pennies by getting a slightly older player who can also pitch and hit?
If you’re a Brian Cashman, Ben Cherington, or Alex Anthopoulos sitting in your hoity toity GM office right now reading this…let’s chat, our DM’s are open.
