Harris with another incredible grab.

 

[ii flash ii]

Money Mike!!!

 

[Armada]

What a play Harris

 

[Coupé It]

Going to the NYY would actually be Ohtani’s best career move. He’d actually be a real star and be spoken about.

Maybe he’s realizing that?

 

[g-time]

I doubt ohtani comes to NY... he wasnt even looking at NY when he came to the MLB thats why he picked somewhere low key like the angels... too much pressure for him imo...hopefully I'm wrong though lol

He did look at New York. He met with the Yankees and they wanted him to pitch only. Or choose one or the other.

In my defense and wouldn’t be wrong to think you’re not joking, you’ve been very outspoken against Ohtani

Yeah because he wouldn’t be talked about if he went to the Dodgers, Mets, or Giants.

You’d have the east coast bias running in full effect.

Not like the Yankees.

 

[DonCigaro]

NY also has a large Asian population he’d fit right in

 

[jpzx]

Not like the Yankees.

Ya Ohtani is not gonna go to the Dodgers cause he’d be more talked about with the Yankees. This just in, ESPN has media on the west coast since like 2005.

 

[jpzx]

NY also has a large Asian population he’d fit right in

And California, closest part of America to Japan, doesn’t? The **** are we talking about

 

[Coupé It]

So testy.

 

[g-time]

Bottom line, he’d fit in at both places. This isn’t that deep.

 

[jpzx]

These points are just dumb so I will TEST them. Large Asian population as if Cali doesn’t. Best media market as if LA isn’t also 1A. Let’s hear an argument for the Yankees that others can’t also tout.

 

[HIM]

He wants to win. Neitger of those teams have proven they can win in the last decade. Im guessing Houston or Atlanta.

 

[jpzx]

The Dodgers haven’t proven they can win in the last decade? The Yankees have, but when you say both you mean who

 

[aepps20]

Was Maxey doing a selfie like Paul George?

 

[g-time]

Wherever he goes, he’d fit. Plain and simple. Each fan base is going to claim theirs is better, especially for Ohtani. Again, this isn’t that deep

 

[Coupé It]

Look how up in arms they are at just the mere thought of Ohtani coming to the Yankees in here already

This is why it’d be perfect. Baseball needs a good villain.

 

[jpzx]

He doesn’t have a beard, already. That is the point you should’ve made.

 

[g-time]

They had a great villain this past season.

The San Diego Padres.

Except they were great in an Adam West’s Batman type of villian

 

[Armada]

Just feels so easy for the Phillies to get men on base vs the Braves seeming like they gotta move a mountain to do the same

Man no one gives AF about the Padres but this thread.

 

[DsLee]

My guess is potentially a smaller market with a contract full of opt outs. Predicting he’d still take a top 3-4 offer (money-wise), but would settle for a team where he’d have best discretion for all aspects of his career.

The coverage will be fun though, and I think he signs well before Winter Meetings.
