![]() ![]() Preller and manager Bob Melvin are going to have to work out their differences. Marlins GM Kim Ng’s contract is up, and she obviously deserves a new deal. Sam Fuld, from New Hampshire and the runner-up to Alex Cora for Boston manager last time (interestingly, deposed GM Chaim Bloom was said to be very high on him), is among the logical candidates for the top Red Sox job. Or at least given him another year beyond 2024. It’s a little strange the Giants haven’t locked up president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi. In-house candidates Kyle Haines (farm director) and Mark Hallberg (3B coach) may get manager interviews with the Giants. World Series pick: Watch out for the Phillies. He has to love hitting there though (.972 OPS). Word is Ohtani doesn’t love pitching in Yankee Stadium (27.00 ERA in 3 ²/₃ innings). The Angels are so invested in Ohtani they may be the one big-market team not in on pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Most are writing off the incumbent team, but Ohtani did put together three extraordinary seasons over there. But the question is: Will they spend that big? The Angels and Dodgers both will make a play, sources say. Ohtani crushed his 13th home run of the season on Monday night, gaining sole possession of the Major League lead, and now hes up to 14. Shohei Ohtani will be MLB’s top free agent. As Shohei Ohtani continues his historic 2021 campaign, piling up feats daily as both a hitter and a pitcher. If the Red Sox do land Ohtani, maybe their faithful forget Mookie Betts. Ohtani allowed four earned runs on five hits and left the mound in the sixth inning shortly before Mauricio Dubons tiebreaking two-run single in the Houston Astros 7-5 victory over the Angels. Perhaps more important: The Red Sox need to balance things out after three last-place finishes in four years. Ohtani has a new big deal with New Balance out of Boston. One executive with an interested team said he believes they are a real threat.
