No way Ohtani signs today. Clearly nobody remembers what the Japanese did on December 7th!

If he did sign today, I'm sure the headlines would be epic.

Lol, I was totally thinking about this scenario earlier.

cubs are out now

Why would they be out? They lost 2 starters this offseason(Lackey and Arrieta) so they had multiple spots open in the rotation.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

The surprise team..... Former All USA.... World renowned..Is getting ready to dump his biggest star player....Has hookups and digits to all the Maxim Magazine Hotties!

[Ohtaniland]

If he signs with some other team on Pearl Harbor Day I hope he bombs.

FDR and the top military leaders knew of Japan's specific plan weeks before and let it happen to get the US into the war. Blame them.

Are you saying the Padres are FDR?

[Angelsjunky]

Ohtani kamikazes by signing with Padres.

And I'm hearing there's a possibility that it might snow in hell sometime ... 

Weathermen and hot stove league prognosticators have the easiest jobs - will anyone be impressed if I tweeted "I'm hearing that a decision will certainly be made in the next 2 weeks" ... ?

I like how little is said here. Its possible that he will sign with the Angels in the next 7 minutes and 23 seconds. Set your watches, people.

Also side note, if I'm right, I'm pretty sure the rules of the internet are such that someone owes me a beer.

[HaloNArizona]

So, if we lose out on the Ohtani sweepstakes...what other international FA's out there that we could sign?  

 

we have a ton of money now.

One of my favorite conspirscy theories. We let japan attack us so we could get in the war with europe.

Makes as much sense as creating fake saudis to attsck us, so that we could go to afghanistan, for iraqi oil.

"Boys, ive been thinking. Why dont we let japan attack us and sink our fleet. That way we can let them run unchecked for 6 months, set up fortified FOBs all over the pacific, kick us out of the Phillipines, the Britts out of Singapore and Malaysia, the Dutch out of Indonesia and push on Australia, which would mean the Aussie and Kiwis helping to fight the Germans in Africa eould have to head home, so that we can then rebuild our fleet, spend years trying to regain all that lost territory. That way, we can go to war in Europe." - FDR
