Just seems like an odd reason for a guy that doesn't really seem like he's motivated by attention. That was my thought. It is a great city based on a couple of times I visited. Fans will go crazy no matter where he is. Even if there are four more teams in the state or even one across town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 This is pretty fun for anyone that has been following the Reddit Ohtani plane threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to Toronto if it's them. I'd like to be the insurance salesman writing that policy. I was watching something where he basically makes you at least $30 million a year just being on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the piece, it wouldn't seem much, but if he's bad for a while, it will have to shrink. New team revenue from Japan. I guess the Angels were making a mint on Japanese advertising.

Bob Sacamano Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Need him to go to the Jays. Then we need the Yankees to land one of the Japanese starters and for Boston to wakeup and make couple additions. Put a little more pressure on the O's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 If the Jays don't end up getting Ohtani after the initial reports, I can't even imagine what a gut punch that would be as a Toronto fan. Like last year's "Arson Judge" to the Giants, but 10x worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Also, Rogers Communications would probably start offering a Japanese broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
