Sad that the Padres and Rangers will probably go back to being irrelevant mid-market teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Blue Jays could very well end up with Ohtani but what Jon Morosi did to that fan base with that tweet today was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBears019 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Holy Jesus $700m?!? I guess I’m ok the Cubs didnt go that high. Now, take that $500m and spread it among all other FAs (said every team in on Ohtani…). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, take that $500m and spread it among all other FAs (said every team in on Ohtani…). I'm not. Ohtani is literally the best player on the planet. You pay the man whatever is necessary as a big market in a sport without a hard salary cap. 1 hour ago, BullsandBroncos said: Insane if he stops pitching in 3 years That's obviously the big gamble. Dodgers are paying him $35 million a year to be their DH, and $35 million a year to be their #2 pitcher. If he can't pitch effectively again after his 2nd elbow procedure, they have a $70 million DH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he will be able to pitch effectively after his internal brace procedure, but for how long? 3 years if they're lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live without Brito & Vasquez. Not saying they're bad pitchers necessarily (and SD wanting them is proof) but will they become truly dominant pitchers when (if) they're given a full load? I cant say they will - therefore - you dont hold up signing Soto for Michael King. The guy's publicly stated "Everybody wants to play for the Yankees" - so I wouldnt put his signing long term as impossible. He'll be 26 when/if he hits FA. Thats prime territory. Brito and Vasquez are just arms, we had excess depth King and Thorpe have potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
