What team will sign Shohei Ohtani?

[Rocko]

I think it’ll be the dodgers

 

[DGS49]

There is an element - no, a couple elements - of risk here. Will he ever be an effective pitcher again? Probably. Will he continue to hit at the current level? Nobody knows. Hitting is not as challenging when you are on a team that is not in contention.

The Dodgers and Yankees can afford to risk the mountain of money that he will surely get, but there are no guarantees in this situation.

 

[rightwinger]

I think he wants to stay on the West Coast and wants to play for a contender

Dodgers

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Dodgers.

Dodgers

Also he wants to play close to Japan

 

[Unkotare]

Also he wants to play close to Japan

Where did you get that?

Where did you get that?

I heard that on ESPN radio.

I heard that on ESPN radio.

If he wanted to be close to Japan he could have kept playing in Japan. We have these things called airplanes now.

We also have long plane rides and short plane rides. I hope that helps, little guy lol

Did ESPN tell you that, Wilber?

 

[Rocko]

Did ESPN tell you that, Wilber?

Nope, Francis, unlike you I don t need to be spoon fed everything. Run along and play now!

That would be consistent with the recent pattern. Dodgers lose-Dodgers buy the MVP.

You said your BS was from ESPN, remember?

Have you heard that from Ohtani himself and did he say he wants to leave the Angels?
I have never heard him say one negative thing about the team or about any player on the team.
Just because he said he wants to win has zero bearing that he will sign with any other team besides the Angels and not play along side Mike Trout.

So the question should be will he leave the Angels. I don't know. Nobody but Ohtani knows. Ron Washington didn't say anything yesterday to the fact. The sports media is so full of crap all the time and it's speculation otherwise.

Not that it matters here in the States, but his fans in Japan love the fact he plays for the Angels.

 

[okfine]

Ohtani, wife, and kid live in Newport Beach. Staying in the LA area? Yes.
He makes $30M per season. Who can (or will) pay him more than $40M?

 

[okfine]

Now listen to Dave Roberts. He pretty much said no deal.

His fans in Japan would love the fact that he plays anywhere.

Rumors most likely. He has never said if he is or isn't.
