Shohei Ohtani Makes History as MVP and Team Switcher

TL;DR Summary
Shohei Ohtani, the reigning American League MVP, is likely to join a small group of MLB players who switched teams right after winning the award. Ohtani, a two-way superstar, is set to become a free agent and is expected to sign the largest contract in MLB history. While it's possible he could re-sign with the Los Angeles Angels, it seems unlikely. If he does join another team, Ohtani will become the fourth reigning MVP to switch teams, either through free agency or trade. The other players in this exclusive group are Eddie Collins, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, and Giancarlo Stanton.
