Ohtani should be MVP of the American League…

Again, that arm goes down, you probably lose him as a hitter. If this deal is fully guaranteed, props to the agent.

Big O deferred a boatload. I like that regardless of who pushed it. Gives Dodgers wiggle room for other big time players.

I know it's within the CBA rules, but this grossly affects the competitive balance they seek. Not only tax avoidance but luxury tax
avoidance too.

The reports are it was Ohtani's idea to defer all the money, I guess it's within the rules, but it's still bullshit that they can get away with doing this, fuck the Dodgers

For now LA is spending 70 mil for a DH. They could have re-signed a guy with similar numbers for 9-12 mil per, JD Martinez.

From what I understand first arm injury scared Halos to lock him up with a Trout type deal. Then of course after the surgery he continued surging. Then another arm injury and Halos were no longer interested.

Agent gave Angels last chance to match, Ohtani really liked the Heim, but no way Moreno is spending that kind of money, a deferred contract like that would deter a lot of potential (team) buyers.

Team has never been off the market...

Really makes one wonder about Trout and his desire or needs as a player of caliber. Guess he is content.

Trout is Melania tRUMP

Both chose the security of money over everything else.

Trout chose money over winning
Melania chose money over love

Dodgers doubling down on their effort to return to the World Series…in the end it’s always about filling the seats…the Japanese community has arrived at Chavez Ravine…

Dodgers do not have a problem with that. They have been #1 every season since 2013 and every FULL season they draw at least 3.7M. Putting BIS at that place is not an issue
