He has been at odds with the team all season and it’s not the best relationship right now. A unhappy player in an uncomfortable situation is not going to perform at his best.

Sadly, I think Chiba Lotte may hold him another season if they don’t get a lottery payday from MLB. That may very well lead to another season in NPD but give him a chance to fully heal. At this point, him coming may be down to 50/50.
Ohtani played 5 season in Japan, right? It's up to the club?

NPB holds rights until age 25. Prior to that they have to request to leave.

This article has some good explanation on the Roki situation and the posting process of NPB.

Young man is probably looking to cash in before his arm goes, it would not surprise me at all if his dropoff this year is due to arm trouble. Then again, let's hope he is fine.

He should end up with the Dodgers. Dave Roberts did a good job with Yamamoto, who I thought was going to be a bust after the disaster in Seoul. Probably easier for him to play in LA with Ohtani and Yamamoto taking some of the spotlight off of him.

There is some issue with whether teams have the bonus money left to sign him.

I would still be concerned with his innings. He pitched 111 this year and has topped out at 129 innings. Skenes topped out at about the same number his last season in college and then did throw 150 combined innings this year. It's possible he takes a step forward like that. Just would concern me is all.
