mcmagic is right Ohtani wants to play for a team that's proven it has what it takes to contend for a world series in 2023 and beyond, such as the Arizona Diamondbacks

Verdugo is a knucklehead who hasn't really panned out like it was hoped he would, and Jeter Downs fell into an absolute hole, but Conner Wong looked like a perfectly cromulent starting catcher this year, and that's something?

Exactly the return you want for a perennial MVP candidate and future hall of famer

If he's not worried about the payday over all else and wants to focus on the competition then there is a different kind of gulf state he should move to.

Ohtani wants to play in October and be the one who pushes a team over the hump to ultimate victory. So he’s looking for a team that where there’s no question they’ll be in the postseason, but in need of that heroic secret sauce only he can provide. A team that’s playing every October but still needs help, hrmmm…

Verdugo is a JAG

He led the Sox in doubles and triples this year. Defensively, he was a positive value.

Then again, he's a doofus that isn't really great at anything, and probably doesn't start for many teams in baseball.

I have it on good authority that Shohei's dream is to live in a suburban master planned community, wear wrap around oakleys, and drive a lifted Tundra with a pristine bedliner that has never been or will never be used off road or to haul anything. There are only a few MLB towns that can deliver that lifestyle for him

Hint: They filmed Return of the Jedi and Stargate there. I was too young to be an extra in Stargate by about 6 months, but a bunch of my friends are in it. Also, the Padres used to hold spring training there until they managed to escape.

Sorry for my ignorance on this one - Im from Texas - they teach us in school that California is only two things:

1) an urban hellscape where zombie-like hordes accost people on the street and steal from Walgreens which is causing everyone to flee the state
2) endless suburbs where decrepit 1960s ranch homes cost $2 million.

1 and 2 not being congruent with each other is not something that is addressed.
