I was just trying to show we can still better spend 70M or so for 2024 when Ohtani was only going to be a DH. I don't trust Bellinger long term and Chapman has shown to be too sporadic with the bat. Let's see what happens though.
Chapman (20M), Bellinger (25M), Teo (20M), Hicks (10M)
We can legitimately get all those guys for 5M more than Ohtani who was only DHing for 2024. Let's see what Shatkins can do here...
Wow... so we have a chance to get Ohtani while only losing 10M in our budgeting. This is pretty much the difference of having a legit world series favourite to what we had last year. Unreal
jphoornstra's comment on "[Game Thread] Shohei Ohtani" No problem. I’ll post a follow-up story no later than tomorrow morning whether there is new news to report or not. I haven’t heard anything from my sources that would contradict what I originally reported: that Ohtani chose the Jays.
