Cleveland's Calculated Gamble: Did the Browns Deal Away Their Franchise Cornerstone?
Yes, Shohei Ohtani, the player who basically singlehandedly conquered baseball, thanks to his elite skills at the plate and on the mound. That’s who Cleveland opted against taking.
Granted, there are significant differences between a two-way baseball player and a two-way football player, starting with the fact that it’s debatable whether Hunter can play more than a handful of plays on both sides of the ball. But it’s not hard to envision Hunter being the most visible non-quarterback in the league, the kind of player who can disrupt the opposition no matter where he lines up, and raise the profile of his whole team at the same time. Cleveland, still reeling from a string of bad choices that culminated in the Deshaun Watson trade, sure could have used some of that goodwill and star power.
