Let's put all Ohtani related posts here rather than in various different threads.
Finding it so hard to concentrate on work lol.

I've always believed in Shatkins.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Bowden says no decision yet and nothing imminent, but doesn't cite a source like his agent.

Re: Official Shohei Ohtani Thread
And I’d assume there’ll be more? They wouldn’t just make this move, right? Like they had to convince him we have ~ chance to win as the Dodgers et al, so if they’re going big I don’t think they stop at one significant move. Or am I just greedy?

Probably why Soto got snagged yesterday, we need a new, hopefully left handed hitting, left fielder.

Personally, I’m not buying the plane aspect of this story, but who knows.

The story on this private jet is it flew from John Wayne to Clearwater then back to John Wayne yesterday. So Dunedin yesterday, today on way to Toronto. Could be nothing, but it makes sense.

I really don’t want to get my hopes up but this feels like it’s really about to happen. Wild.

There will be more, but you'd have to assume that it will come in the way of trades. Can't see additional salary increases with the tax now adding on to all of it. If this does go through I think changes would come from trading away starting pitching (backifilling with someone like Ryu and then have Ohtani pitching again in 25) or maybe the Springer rumors have some legs. In a scenario like this Berrios or Bassit would be the most likely pitchers dealt.

Shapiro convincing that ****head Ed Rogers to spend serious money on Shohei (and since he got here) has been a welcome surprise. This team should be flexing its money with how much I used to pay for my bills lmao.
