How great would it be if the Dodgers don’t win it all and then Dodger fans will be bitter as the team spends $68 million each year after he retires. 

im gonna enjoy seeing how fast it takes for doyer fans to turn on ohtani. ima guess two years.

2b isn’t 3.5b so you’re saying he’s going to lose half his offer by losing ohtani…

offered prices i saw were estimated around 2.5.

Saw a report today that the Giants also agreed to Ohtani's deal of 10/700 with 680M being deferred...

Would be interesting to see if the Halos were offered the same deal?

Since we paid him 30M last year plus his endorsements he earned... it looks like we were not.

Either Arte was only offering cash today and during the deal with No deferred money.

Or

Ohtani didn't offer the same opportunity to the Halos.

i dont think arte wouldve offered that and i dont think ohtani wouldve ben open to that given they wouldve just pocketed it.

the kinda weird ass legm-esque contract he signed with the doyers is a waste of time for a one year deal.

i wouldve been ok with it but i wouldve been happy about it after his elbow blew out again. of course that might not have happened if he were traded but whatever.

Should have done it with ohtani as an asset. Bet he won’t get close to the previous offers.

meh, i think he still gets 2 easy. i dont think one year of ohtani, given all the uncertainty surrounding him, was gonna make a huge impact on the price.

i think artes thinking of selling again.

angels sucking as bad as they did really fucked over their international image.

its probably gonna take years of success for that to rehab and until then im not expecting any high profile int fas to sign with the team, which is the biggest bummer of failing with ohtani.

The most interesting thing about today's official release of the financial information is that the fans of the other 28 teams are more pissed off than Angels fans.

makes sense cause this ridiculous shit takes away all the cons of huge money contracts for high revenue teams.

idgaf how smart or clever ohtani was being, hes essentially as big a snake as durant was.

this deal now means trouts not a team player cause he didnt defer 90% of his contract like a retard. shame on trout.

i wasnt all that mad or aggrieved about the dude signing with the doyers but this whole 2M in actual salary shit got me to change my mind.

fuck this dude and fuck this shit.

idk how mlb can allow more than 90% of a contract to be deferred, idk how that should be able to lower a teams AAV, and idk what kind of smooth-brained, mouth-breathing, helmet-wearer defers practically his whole contract. i dont buy for a second he offered this same deal to all of the teams he was dealing with.

if he comes back and pitches like shit, im gonna enjoy it now. i hope he has fun with the first round exits.

Do you think the Angels should retire his number?

for 6 years, half of which he's been injured for? nah.

it means he can dh during some of his offdays now.

it also means no more cool japanese-themed hr celebrations so its probably bittersweet.

they can sign 2 japanese players and a korean one to make up for the one they lost.

It'll pay for itself in six or seven years? The hell it will.

the doyers mightve taken ohtani but theyll always have that plane.

He’s going to get more than that.  

then itll be more awful.

Why? It is also true. 

cause the dude forgot how to hit for 3 straight years before last year and he's only ever had 1 elite season in his career. 8/200 for that would be like hamiltons deal where a lot of people knew itd be bad from the get go.

that's a lot of money for a dh.

mlb can finally market ohtani for the playoffs, tho. at least for the first round. yay.

he'll probably think it'll be way easier to sell the team without a 700 million dollar anchor around its neck for the next 20 years or however long that shit is being deferred.

crying over fletch and stassi seems like a massive waste of calories.

shitty ex-mariner. gross.

I’d welcome Bellinger at the right price. Something around 8 years and $200 million.  He would immediately be our best defensive outfielder and first baseman.  He would be the left handed power replacement for Ohtani if he leaves.  

lmao that's awful.

Arte is more a combination of Homer Simpson & Montgomery Burns.  He's Stupid, Evil and Wealthy.

lmao some of you are ridiculous.

Not that many because he's too busy being grumpy and bitching about threads people are starting here.

it's your guys fault for not having the correct properly vetted twitter sources in those threads. shame.

in before he signs with toronto to say good, im happy the angels didnt give him 600mil.

now i cant be accused of coping.
