The wait may be almost over to find out where Shohei Ohtani will sign this offseason.
According to a report from MLB Networkthe biggest free agent in MLB history will likely choose a suitor in the coming week.
The four teams thought to be leading the way in acquiring Ohtani's services are the Los Angeles Angels, where he has played since 2018, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Chicago Cubs and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Ohtani is considered the biggest free agent in the league's existence and is expected to command the largest contract in MLB history.
Another report from Jon Heyman is reaffirming that belief with a bid for Ohtani that is already reportedly in excess of $500 million.

Ohtani will likely sign the largest contract in MLB history, with amounts exceeding $500 million
Fellow Angel Mike Trout signed a 12-year deal worth $426.5 million that adds two years and a huge pay increase to an ongoing contract in 2019.
The largest free-agent contract in league history was signed last offseason by New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge on a nine-year, $360 million deal, with New York retaining the power hitter.
Ohtani has been one of the best baseball players since coming to America, spending his entire MLB career with the Los Angeles Angels.
But the franchise has not appeared in the playoffs since the arrival of the now 29-year-old Ohtani.
Ohtani has won two of the last three American League MVP Awards, thanks in part to his skill as a hitter and pitcher.
His value did not dip despite elbow surgery in September, and Ohtani is not expected to pitch again until the start of the 2025 season.
