le gasp!

The team that overbid against itself trying to court him 5 years ago is still interested after he won three MVP awards? I don't believe it!

Hey, a month ago I would have said the Mariners were playoff bound. Baseball is hard to predict.

A month ago we were :(

Remember when we were half a game out of first with 10 left to play?

I hate that the cheapest, least ambitious, pettiest, dumbest, most rear end in a top hat loving LOSERS are the only people allowed to own baseball teams. gently caress YOU!!!!

The only way to get the amount of money required to own a baseball team is to be a cheap gently caress who squeezes every last dollar out of companies.

Of the 29 teams that Ohtani will not play for in 2024, the Angels are definitely one.

Shohei and Seiya on the same team would be super loving cool. Might as well grab Yamamoto too.

You're gonna trade Seiya to Seattle? That's pretty cool of you.

I'll admit, as a Mariners fan, I was a bit disappointed that two Ms pitchers were in that montage.

Ohtani is on record as wanting to put a team over the top, well there's a team that came a game short of the WS
There's also a team that's never made it to the World Series!

Can you imagine the narrative if Ohtani was the catalyst for the first Ms World Series?

mcmagic posted:

Cause it's such a hardship for him to be able to sit there for 15 minutes and give out rehearsed say-nothing responses to a few questions? Is he not capable of doing that?
Capable? Sure.

No one actually cares. Player interviews are BS anyway and Ohtani doesn't want to do them. I say more power to him.

I'm suddenly reminded of 2003, when the Mariners were floundering, Jeff Nelson criticized the front office for not making any big trades and they responded by trading him back to the Yankees.

Get back to me when the guy wins a team award. If he and Mike Trout were that good, those two and 24 jabronies should have been able to back into a number 6 seed for the playoffs at least once.

My official statement:

The Cubs are an acceptable place for Shohei. The Blue Jays are slightly less acceptable and also a weird place for him, but still overall acceptable. I will be able to buy jerseys without feeling bad.

No other teams will be considered acceptable. This list is complete.

You forgot the Mariners

How much cap space did they clear? Pairing Shohei with a generationally good CF would be quite the combo, they'd be unbeatable in the AL West.

The difference is that the Mariners actually employ pitchers.
