Well maybe not sea lol, but the other 2 teams aren't going anywhere. Actually if he really just wants to make the playoffs, he should go to al central.

Is today the day?

I've noticed Ohtani sales have been ramping back up these last few days

That's good, as I've put everything I made last year back in and then some. Uncle

I don't root for or against the Cubs (just like the Angels until I became a fan from 2018 to 2023), but for card prices in the short term, I actually think him signing with the Cubs would be the best case scenario.

And long term maybe as well.

More so than the Yankees?

I have it ranked:

1) Yankees
2) Dodgers

3) Cubs, Red Sox, Rangers, Mariners

Anything will be an upgrade to the Anaheim market, that’s for sure.

Hmmm.... does Ron Washington know something? Or is he just playing dumb.

The Mariners seem to be unloading a lot of salary. They just gave away Kelenic so the Braves can take on Marco Gonzales & Evan White’s salary. Could they be getting ready to take on Ohtani’s salary?

I wouldn't mind it at all, but not sure -$19M for 2024 and -$8M for 2025 is really going to make much of a dent to land Sho.

He's a Blue Jay, folks. Lock it up

I was only focused on the 5 teams that have a legitimate chance at signing him.

Halonut · 12-04-2023, 08:32 PM

Ron Washington seemed to be all smiles when asked about Shohei at the Winter Meetings. Saying “I don’t have anything to say about that. I don’t want to let the cat of the bag.” As an Angels’ fan I’d love to have him back although the cost will be astronomical. However, if he does re-sign, it’s going to be fun watching the hobby/baseball world lose their collective sh*t

They also just unloaded Eugenio Suarez‘ contract to the Diamondbacks.. which was $11 million a year

I’m glad they got rid of Evan White’s contract. He was making stupid money for doing absolutely nothing.

So -$30M 2024. Guessing the no state income tax comes in handy over CA teams too. Adds like 10-12% advantage.

Other speculation is Mariners are shedding payroll because their RSN isn't going to be pulling in as much money.
