Yours truly had ample time to mentally dive through Tuesday’s selections as I trekked across the country and rocked out with energy drinks.

Shohei Ohtani Eyes Return To Mound In 2021

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani has recently been working in the field, potentially eyeing a shift to first base or the outfield.
