Randy Arozarena’s Instagram post with Shohei Ohtani has MLB fans speculating so hard

Does this mean a trade is coming????

This could mean nothing.

Or it could mean … everything?

That’s MLB Hot Stove season for you! Here’s what I’m talking about: Tampa Bay Rays star Randy Arozarena posted a photo of him and Shohei Ohtani from the 2023 World Baseball Classic, with nothing but a caption of their two respective flags and a shoutout of Ohtani.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!?

Is this an appreciation of the newly-signed Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher/hitter? Or is it, as some fans are wondering, an indication that a Rays and Dodgers trade is coming to pair the outfielder with Ohtani?

Here’s the post and some speculation:
