Shohei Ohtani 2024, Pearl Harbor in 1941

Coral Gables, Florida (VIP-WIRE).- “The baseball It is the hobby national in USAbut its popularity extends to much of the rest of the world”… Joral Benedetti.

Shohei Ohtani He came, 83 years later, to show his military compatriots how it is possible conquer the United States without planes or shrapnel. And he does not do it alone over a single place, as Pearl Harbor, but broadly, penetrating all 50 states and beyond.

Instead of an ugly gesture of a military bully, the 30-year-old Japanese youthhe smiles at everything in life with his big leaguer gesture. And instead of weapons of war, he wields a bat and the best skills that a human has had to play baseball throughout the history of mankind.

At the end of last year, Shohei stunned the world by signing a contract with the Dodgers for $700 million over 10 seasons. Now, few remember that negotiation, because the Japanese is once again astonishing the world, but for the way he hits and runs the bases, despite having undergone surgery on his right elbow.

Altuve asks the Astros to sign Alex Bregman

Jose Altuve is hoping and asking the Astros to sign his teammate, third baseman Alex Bregman, now, so he doesn’t leave as a free agent. This is what my friends at Larry Brown Sports tell me.

Altuve, 34, has played 14 seasons at second base with the Houston club and is signed through 2029. He naturally expects to finish his career in that uniform. He is paid $33 million annually.

Bregman, 30, is a free agent after playing all nine of his seasons with the Astros. This year he was paid $30.5 million.

Altuve’s argument: “I don’t see what good it would do us to have him go. I think that after the season, our general manager and the owner will get the deal done. I’m 100 percent confident that we’re not only a better team with him, but a better organization as well. We really need Bregman.”

The truth is that infield coordination is necessary to win consecutive games.

The third baseman’s agent is Scott Boras, as always, ready to demand many years of contract and multimillions in fees… We’ll see!…
