still can't believe they kept Nevin around to lead our potential last season with Ohtani. Just why.

Can I be a new billionaire? I promise to be cool and good. I'll buy a baseball team and spend lots of money on it.

I was under the impression that the Ricketts were cheapskates, content to ride the fumes of a WS win for the foreseeable future. Why would they be going for Ohtani?

I'm assuming that geography is a factor here and frequently flying west coast <> Japan will be less miserable than Toronto <> Japan

It's only a 2 hr difference, believe it or not

2 hours one way, an extra 4 every trip seems like it'd be noticeable. But maybe Ohtani doesn't care, I don't actually know anything other than Arte should've sold the team.

What I wouldn't give to be present for the Ohtani team meetings. I wonder how much of Arte's bizarre sense of pride in his team is keeping the Angels in the mix (read: driving the price up). Can he bear the shame of the biggest star in a century signing somewhere else?

Would Shohei, the consummate gentleman, really burden his 100M+ Japanese fans with the added travel distance to Toronto? I think not.

I'd thought I was emotionally prepared for Ohtani to leave but legitimately got depressed when the growing up segment skipped over his Angels uniform. My perfect baseball boy has left for greener pastures :(

just lol and lmao if Ohtani and Yamamoto colluded to end up on the Dodgers

I prefer rooting for underdogs but many teams are in that category either deliberately or through incompetence. What am I supposed to hate about the Dodgers? Ohtani, Mookie, Freeman? Competent and competitive ownership? Magic tweets? Vin Scully's legacy? Maybe the fans are bad but I live a couple states away. :shrug:

if the Dodgers were really serious about competing they'd bring back Vin

The Angels have some solid young guys and Trout and a new manager and Arte will almost certainly pass on within the next twenty years

I'm convinced that Ohtani and Yamamoto were in on this together from the start

Didn't they just call up a first baseman after a couple of weeks in the minors?

yeah, Schanuel shows a lot of promise. the internet says he can play outfield too so if we take Votto then ?
