Ohtani Thread - Special Sheriff's Edition (Update: confirmed going to the Dodgers)

Yeah, I think Roberts got a stern talking to

[burlingtonbandit]

Haha his face in that moment does not look pleased.

lmao

[max silver]

Isn't a >.500 record for 4 straight years and a playoff birth in 3 of the last 4 years (while missing a clean 4 for 4 by 1 game) a sustainable winner? I mean the Jays haven't been >.500 for 4 straight years since that run from '83 to '93. But yeah, that POS GM who hasn't even acquired a guy like Soto should be s*** on.

 

One shouldn't underestimate how deep Gruber's hatred of Atkins runs. It's on par or greater than Grant's completely irrational hatred of Boston and the Red Sox.

Not with this watered down playoff system. How many division titles? How many playoff wins?

 

You don't have to be a brain surgeon to make the playoffs with a top five payroll these days, but thanks anyway.

 

Edit.. The teams in the 80s didn't have the money to spend like Rogers has today.

[Marew]

Almost getting ohtani was our World Series.

Oh is that the only measure of a team's success? Then yes, I remember when the Blue Jays won a total of 4 playoff games and 0 division titles in the 80's (despite 7 straight years > .500). It was a f***ing glorious time to be alive. "It doesn't get any better than that".

[Terminator]

The Dodgers can't even abide by the simple rule of "please don't discuss the FA process with the media."

 

Imagine what it will be like for Ohtani when he joins that rat race in LA. The team will be spilling secrets and rumors about him constantly. The second he signs there someone will blurt out the name of his dog. The Dodgers won't be able to protect him from the paparazzi who will figure out who he's dating and will start harassing her.

 

Way to go Dave, you f***ed it up.

 

Dodgers are OUT

[Terminator]

 

Wow, high praise from Mark Elias (the greatest GM since the late Branch Rickey).

Two divisions with the division winners getting through for a total of TWO playoff spots. Yes, it was a glorious time to be alive.

 

We won the division in 85 and 89, but yeah keep throwing s*** out there. Unreal.. You got to be a liberal.

Dodgers aren't out lol

[Terminator]

Dodgers aren't out lol

 

Sorry bud, I don't make the ground rules that was Ohtani and his team and the Dodgers broke it.

 

They are officially OUT.

[Omar]

Point of clarification:

 

Hatred of the Bosox can never be characterized as irrational.

[Frenchsoup]

Who cares if Roberts opened up a bit about his feelings on the situation. He didn't discuss money, just a little Dodger intimidation for the rest of the league....

[Carlos Danger]

I hope this doesn’t end up like Conmor’s dating life metaphorically.

 

Goes on a website, gets so many responses from chicks he doesn’t know how he will juggle them all..

 

He is on the ultimate high and sure his sex and dating life look bright. Then one by one they whittle away for whatever reason and Connor is left alone and wacking off to girlswithburkas.jizz

[Frenchsoup]

The MLB offseason is going to get me through the Winter.......

[burlingtonbandit]

Its hilarious people thinking Dave Roberts saying we spoke to him is going to be a deciding factor. Ohtani isn't making a life altering decision about his future based on a manager talking to reporters.

I don't make the rules pal. That is coming straight from Ohtani's camp. Dodgers are officially OUT.

Well Atkins just commented on Ohtani's free agency saying they don't know when he will make a decision lol. Guess Jays are out too.

[Frenchsoup]

I think Shohei goes to the Dodgers and Soto is traded to the Jays......Jays should immediately flip him for Higgy and Nasty Nestor, (and Ben Rortvedt if possible). Get 5 catchers and stack the market.

[Terminator]

That's different

[Frenchsoup]

Worst case scenario you have a bunch of catchers to catch pitchers in spring. Teams will get highly desperate.

[burlingtonbandit]

That's different

 

Yup, guess he will retire now.

[wilko]

Yup, guess he will retire now.

 

Now you're being ridiculous.

[bones10]

give him whatever he wants, theyre going to make bank off his name

[Ehjays]

[Terminator]

 

[Marew]

I think it’s win win. If we get him, we have him. If we don’t have him, Roger’s saves 580m. Both outcomes will make me just as happy.

Who cares what Rogers saves!!
