Shohei Ohtani's free agency is the biggest looming question in the MLB offseason, and there is some thought that he could return to the Los Angeles Angels, despite the fact that the Los Angeles Dodgers have been the favorites to land the two-way superstar, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.

The Angels, along with the Toronto Blue Jays remain firmly in play, according to Feinsand. It has been assumed that Shohei Ohtani will leave the Angels for a team that seemingly has a better chance to win, but a reunion remains a realistic possibility. A source indicated that Ohtani is a creature of habit who has enjoyed his time with the Angels, so a competitive offer financially is appealing to him, according to Feinsand.

Going back to before the 2023 season was even over, many have assumed that Ohtani would go to the Dodgers, staying in the same general area and joining a team that has been arguably the most consistent contender for many years. However, maybe Ohtani wants so stay with the Angels, where he is comfortable and has established routines.

It appears that Ohtani's decision might not come until after the Winter Meetings, which could hold up other moves this offseason. Regardless, it will be interesting to find out where Ohtani will play next season, and the reasoning behind his decision. There is a lot of mystery regarding his preferences.

As of now, it seems that a return to the Angels is very much in play, with the Dodgers and Blue Jays being the other main contenders.
