  1. Unless Ohtani flames out.
  2. Ohtani had contended all along that he wanted to play on a winner. With his deferral, they can now add the much needed pitching to round out that team.
  3. Kind of takes the sting out of striking out.
  4. What is also lost is that Chafin had opted out of our contract with him. We didn’t trade or release him.
  5. He’l have a long leash. His stuff is good when he can control it.
  6. I’m not prioritizing a closer. In the spirit of failed starters, I think we have plenty of candidates. Let’s get a starter and 3B stopgap
  7. He just wanted to get closer to home. Again.
  8. Dodgers need starters—they aren’t done yet. Yamamoto?
  9. I’m working on all 155 variations. Stay tuned…
  10. I guess it depends on the number of years, since he’s young. He could get 12+. I think his annual will be closer to $50M.
  11. Also, I don’t believe that Ohtani has a comp, so while the next big free agent might want a similar contract, they won’t be getting it. Soto is probably next, and likely ends up closer to $500M.
  12. Not gonna lie. My indoor pitching lessons start right after Christmas.
  13. The $700M was secondary. I believe he was heading to the Jays, but the Dodgers stepped in and made him a deal that no other team could/would top.
  14. I’ll bet Maeda K’s more hitters than Ohtani does next season.
  15. My buddy, who is a big Dodgers fan, just texted that he hopes that Ohtani doesn’t like rough sex. Hilarious.
  16. The lineup (so far): DH Canha 2B Keith LF Greene 1B Tork RF Carpenter 3B Vierling SS Baez C Rogers CF Meadows SP Skubal SP Maeda SP Manning SP Olsen SP Mize/Long
  17. How much would the Jays have to pay, considering the exchange rate?
  18. Watching Reyes slapping singles is the equivalent of a 6’ 6” pitcher topping out at 90.
  19. I don’t know what’s worse—knowing or not knowing what the return from the Dodgers was going to be? Especially if Jake was part of it, as rumored. I suspect Edys was in the deal, as they had to move him.
  20. I hope the Dodgers light ERod up every time they face him.
  21. Not sure if Troy Melton has a serious injury, but he looked pretty good last season.
  22. My draft party lasted 7 minutes. A lot of coconut shrimp 🍤 going to waste.
  23. I love Ohtani, but $500+ million for a guy who may never pitch effectively again, seems excessive. Hard to quantify the marketing impact he would have for a team, though.
