This will be thought of the worst contract in baseball in probably 3 years. He turns 30 next year.

I can't believe he didn't take the Pirates' offer of a renamed bridge and a free parking spot.

His agent had to just throw out an obscene number while holding back his laughter.
Pure insanity. |

The Angels are a dumpster fire franchise, but if Ohtani is so great why couldn’t he at least get them to sniff the playoffs during his time there?
Especially with the expanded playoffs. |

Baseball is funny like that. There's no QB-like position of paramount importance you can focus on, and unlike the NBA, two superstars aren't enough to basicallty guarantee a playoff run.

That isn’t how baseball works. The Angels were awful outside of two players.

I get it because they're about to make a killing on merch and tickets and just overall attention. But coming off two Tommy Johns there's a risk you're going to be spending $70 million a year on a DH. A great DH no doubt but what a contract.

That seems beyond crazy. And I think Ohtani is a generational talent, maybe the best there ever was. But $700 million is just insane.

MLB is a poverty league that doesn't have a salary cap.

I'm just glad we'll finally get to see him in the playoffs. Top of that order is gonna be bonkers. Whether it's a good deal or not isn't my problem

That’s true, good way to look at it. It’ll be interesting to see how he does in the postseason.
