Going back to Ohtani, I very much doubt he will go anywhere except the west coast. I also think, even with the injury, he will set the record for most total dollars in a contract.

Last year, the Yankees played in the ALCS. Their roster this year isn't all that different. The difference are injuries and lapses in production from most of the same players who took the team to the ALCS last year.
The Mets lost in the Wild Card series last year, totally revamped their roster, then traded their biggest signings away.
So, why are the Mets better?
