MaoistBanker posted:Are you being serious? LA is absolutely the most desirable location for introverted/private sports celebrities. We see famous people all the time around here, we don't give them poo poo. It's LA rule #1. Also, famous people don't go to where tourists visit here so they live very nice relatively anonymous lives. I lived in LA for 5 years and I'll never forget the time I saw like 6 helicopters swarming over my head. When I finally figured out what the emergency was, it turned out David Arquette got into a fender bender and every loving channel's chopper was at the scene. The celebrity worship was one of the things I hated most about living there. Paparazzi do not leave celebrities alone ever, even if the average LA citizen does.

Buster posted:Imagine if Ohtani had concluded his visit with the Toronto Blue Jays -- the one that neither manager John Schneider nor GM Ross Atkins would confirm Tuesday, given multiple opportunities -- with a Zoom call with reporters. He could open with an homage to the city of Toronto, before describing the impressive tour of the team's new spring training complex. He could've talked about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s power, Bo Bichette's aggressiveness at the plate, Kevin Gausman's splitter. He could've mentioned Schneider's humor, thanked Mark Shapiro and Atkins for their time. He could've capped his reflections with an observation about the Maple Leafs, about Joe Carter's home run. And he could have wrapped it up by announcing a donation to Jays Care -- say, $50,000, pocket change for a player who already makes tens of millions of dollars in endorsements, before he gets the richest contract in the history of North American professional sports -- to help children. He could've deftly answered a few questions from local reporters, easily deflecting the question of where he intends to play by saying he was still going through the process.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:This is the same team that traded Eloy at peak prospect status for fuckin Jose Quintana And Dylan Cease who was a fringe top 100 guy at the time. Remember that the Quintana trade was due to them needing to save money. They needed starting pitching but didn't want to spend. Verlander was available, but they wouldn't eat his contract. They also gave up Soler for 1 year of Wade Davis. My concern with the Cubs is they use their prospects in trades to avoid having to give out larger contracts.

Why wouldn't anyone want to hear any of that if he ends up signing somewhere else? That would just piss every other teams fan base off.

it really is messed up Ohtani would be upset if it's leaked he talked to the Dodgers, almost as hosed up as how people say their 2020 championship doesn't count and that there's no regular season award for having the best record ever year

April 18: Ohtani shocks the world by signing with the Pirates, the only team that never leaked that they'd met with him, because they hadn't. Deal was hurriedly agreed over a zoom call and is for 1 year/$5M

I, for one, recall when Aaron Judge famously did NOT sign with the Giants and everyone within BART distance of AT&T wanted the front office strung up for like a week but now we're all like "lol as if Judge would have ever gone to San Francisco when he was obviously staying put." We wouldn't want LA's FO to get that kind of treatment when Shohei inevitably lands with the Cubs. rickiep00h fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Dec 6, 2023 |

No one will give two shits about Ohtani’s free agent process two weeks into April, but otherwise you’d have to write about the Erik Gonzalez signing, so sure, let’s make this a thing
