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

[Jimcanuck]

Highest contract value in (all) sports history

[jaysguy44]

If he can't pitch on a regular basis, that's a lot of money for a DH..

[Ray]

Almost a billion CAD $

 

Jesus Christ hahah

[Stangstag]

 

Dodgers upped the offer BIG TIME lol

 

Yeah seems so lol.

 

Ah well, dream is over.

[Daniel Labude]

How come we can never have nice things

 

70M a year and he won't pitch for at least 1 of the 10 and is coming back from double TJ in general while being north of 30...thats nuts, you could get 4 Vlad/Bos for that

[JaysAllMighty]

To be honest I would be 100% surprised if he doesn't pick the Dodgers.

 

Well I was right.

[jaysguy44]

Well I was right.

Not exactly a bold prediction..

[CJ-Freeway]

Lol

[Stangstag]

Well I was right.

 

We all knew it would be the Dodgers, just hoping we could land a big fish just once

[DigitalRock]

Well I was right.

 

This is like patting yourself on the back for predicting sunny weather tomorrow the dodgers were always a very strong possibility

[Jimcanuck]

Blue Jays are incredibly effective at salary enforcement.

[L54]

Always the bridesmaid never the bride

[glory]

Well good news is the off season can finally begin now. Two months without any significant moves was boring as hell.

 

But man, I feel for Atkins because literally anything he does now will be seen as inferior. Although if it’s Chapman or Bellinger, then fans would have a right to be upset.

[leaffie]

My first thought, was oh s***. The second was I hope he falls down the stairs and breaks his leg.

 

Then I thought, how awful to think like that. Give the Jays credit, they gave it their all, but there are better ways to spend $700 million.

[RobinThicc]

700 mill, I cant even be mad at that point.

[L54]

Great now we get Cody Bellinger the year after they should’ve signed him

[DonJays]

It is not like the team Ohtani is on is guaranteed of winning anything, the money can be spent elsewhere

 

Not really. They had an Ohtani budget and a non Ohtani budget

[philly30]

Blessing in disguise

[Funky]

If it’s true and it’s the dodgers for $700M that is nuts.

 

What’s next BJ’s?

[JaysAllMighty]

Not exactly a bold prediction..

 

Didn't see yours mouthpiece.

[philly30]

Apparently alot of money is deferred

[philly30]

Not really. They had an Ohtani budget and a non Ohtani budget

 

So why can't that unused Ohtani money be unspent elsewhere

[Jays24]

700M for a guy who turned 30 is absolutely f***ed. While I really wanted the guy, you are literally living and dying by 1 guy.

[DigitalRock]

Didn't see yours mouthpiece.

 

lol most people saw the dodgers as faves from day one come on bro pathetic flex

[Pinkfloid]

Too good to be true; it wasn't our money anyways but that's just a crazy amount of it.

[Jonn]

What a Basic Bitch move signing with the Dodgers. Zero respect for him going forward.

[DigitalRock]

So why can't that unused Ohtani money be unspent elsewhere

 

Other players won’t result in the same ROE as ohtani

[jaysguy44]

Didn't see yours mouthpiece.

Congrats man, big day for you

[Rafters]

I’d like to think there are better ways for the Jays to spend $700, but I doubt they spend any close to that now.. maybe they sign a couple guys but don’t see them going all in on anyone else in the market

[JaysAllMighty]

what a basic bitch move signing with the dodgers. Zero respect for him going forward.

 

lol
