If he needs Tommy John surgery this will be his second. The first one was in 2018. Interesting to see how this affects his market status in free agency.

He probably just lost about $150-$200m in value.

Terrible news but maybe Ruth was right.....

Coming back from 2 TJ surgeries is no joke. At least Ohtani can continue his big league career unlike most pitchers that suffer the same fate.
