The most amount of money the White Sox have ever spent on a contract is $75 million for Benintendi. Lol at Reinsdorf opening his wallet ever.

Which makes it even crazier that Shohei Ohtani is signing with the Chicago White Sox!

Who the gently caress is this goober? I'll :toxx: ban me if Ohtani signs with the Cubs.

OR: don't ban me and I'll take the $10 I would have spent anyway and donate it to Doctors Without Borders

”we reported his announcement would be no earlier than Friday” lmao you made the claim on Friday

A Dodgers site insisting that Ohtani's going to Toronto seems legit.
That blog is the worst of clickbait know-nothing fan service. The site itself has less than zero credibility. I can’t overstate how terrible DN is.

JP Hoonstra specifically is a pretty normal local beat writer who until a few weeks ago worked for the OC Register covering the Dodgers and Angels. He has never been a big scoops guy, just solid local reporting and the occasional news break on a more minor signing.

It was odd to see him go to Dodgers Nation recently, since that site is well beneath the standard he’s previously established for himself.

It sure looks like he’s made a choice to chase clickbait with the move.

Also for some reason my 77 year old mother gets daily email updates from Dodgers Nation and she messaged me this morning with an angry rant about Ohtani signing with the Jays. So thanks for that, JP.

Ohtani will be a Marlin, but it's in his contract that they have to bring the dinger machine back.

This guy being from the same county that Ohtani lives in seems legit.

My theory is that Ohtani was going to fly to Toronto but Moreno pulled a Clippers and locked Ohtani in his apartment until he agreed to stay an Angel.

My sources are telling me that Ohtani is finalizing a deal to join the Rays on the condition that the new ballpark is called the Sho-Dome.
