Atlanta is certainly not known for making the big splashes in free agency though.

Exactly. It almost makes too much sense. He'd be an unbelievable complement to a young, strong lineup and a lot of powerful, efficient bats.
Think about the hitters you're facing with Ohtani added. Even if Ohtani is relegated to bullpen work in 2026 and beyond, he stills carries one of the best bats we've seen.
Dodgers make a lot of sense as well if the reports of him wanting to stay on the West coast are true.
