    They are too talented offensively to be the Mets but their pitching will still be a question mark.

    Really love extending running lane to infield grass. Too many chicksh!t calls because a RHB runs straight to the bag.

    That's it i'm done with mlb.

    Ohtani's contract should not be legal. doyers want to spend 100 million per year on 2 guys ok fine pay it. none of this deferred salary with stock options ****. nope. I'm done for good.

    Congratulations mlb you lost a true fan today
    I will now follow the dominican winter league.

    I actually think this deal will considered a bargain if he stays healthy.

    I always thought he would get 300 over 10 so this is less AAV.

    The Dodgers just bought the Japanese market.

    The Dodgers have won: 106, 106, 111, and 100 games the past 4 full seasons.

    Lost in NLDS, lost in NLCS, lost in NLDS, lost in NLDS.

    They can spend a billion dollars per year if they want but still need to figure out how to be healthy and win in October.

    It was obvious as **** that Ohtani would go to the dodgers.
    Once that happened it was also obvious as **** Yamamoto would follow him.
    Hopefully the media circus and pressure to win will be a huge distraction for them.

    The Dodger spent a billion dollars on a pitcher that has never pitched in the majors and one that for sure won't pitch in the majors next season.

    I don't like it either (I really enjoy what Ohtani does and can no longer in good conscience root for him to have success) but everybody up in arms about all this "guarantees" the Dodgers has clearly never watched how MLB postseasons play out virtually every single season.

    It's crazy

    I can't find a single site giving the Dodgers 100% chance of winning the World Series. Or even 50.

    What a shame. Saw that kid pitch in the Japan series live (well on tv whilst overseas lol) he has killer stuff. He and Sho went to the worst damn team not named Yankees or rangers. I truly hope the braves or wild card Dbacks smoke them in the first round. Hell give me any NL team other than them. Bah humbug.
