OT: Other Sports 82

[Mrfenn92]

Sounds like they are / going to be out on both Ohtani and Soto here soon. Never thought the Cubs were for sure getting either of them or anything like that, but still.

Wonder if bellinger reunion happens

Figured it would have to be a major haul.

On one hand, I get not wanting to do that.

On the other hand, sometimes that's just what you have to do to get a guy.

IMO, a big market like the Cubs shouldn't be as worried about giving away prospects, but that's just my perspective. Not saying that directly in relation to the Soto trade, but just my general perspective.

In Yanks case if they dont have strong year and return to playoffs then Cashman is going to be fired

So, for him the gamble here makes sense because he has no future if Yanks fail

Given what I've seen reported (I've seen 200/300m connected to Bellinger), not a chance.

No way someone gives Bellinger 300 million dollars.

Guess he is content to never winning a title

I predict this contract will be massive mistake

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Cubs not putting together a more attractive option for Ohtani than the Jays is peeving me a tad. Great for Toronto, though.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Wait, did that whole thing start as a rumor because people tracked a private plane from LA to Toronto and everybody just assumed Ohtani was on it?

.... really?

Morosi has to wear it for awhile. When you get debunked by Jim Bowden and Bob Nightengale, the TMZ of baseball reporting, then you know you just got played by your source.

With that said, if Ohtani does not end up in TOR, Morosi won't be able to show his face in Toronto.

 

[hawksrule]

Deleted. Probably untrue.

 

[bwanajamba]

Seems like an obvious clout-chaser. Won't believe a thing about Ohtani until it's officially official

 

[Mrfenn92]

Deleted. Probably untrue.

Think the first tweet was posted last night
Probably just a fake trying to be funny type of thing

 

[Mrfenn92]

otani to the dodgers

10 years $700 million

 

[bwanajamba]

Cheap-ass Ricketts couldn't pony up $701 million?

 

[clydesdale line]

That is... ALOT of dough. Holy shit.

Reinsdorf offered a free hot dog and a trip to jimbos bar

 

[southsideIrish]

Ridiculous. And LA will still find a way to lose in the playoffs.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Will be interesting to see how this contract is structured

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Shit.

 

[Teemu]

Reinsdorf offered a free hot dog and a trip to jimbos bar

ONE YEAR of his contract is almost as much as the largest full contract in Sox history

They’re going to be in luxury tax hell. But I still think it’s worth it dollar wise.
