    Bauer revealed in an interview with the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Japan Economics Newspaper) that he had received offers from multiple NPB teams. He is scheduled to pitch 5 games in Mexico until early May. If no MLB team wants to acquire him, there is a possibility that he will return to Japan.

    Source in Japanese: the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on April 16, 2024

    At this point he might as well.  Pitch a few years over there, make as much as he can and return to the US and retire with a decent nest egg.  It really doesn’t look like we will even see if he can still be successful in the MLB.  

    At worst his will be a cautionary tale for young, dumb, arrogant players to be careful about who you keep company with.

    Do you ever apply the sniff test to anything in life?  Do you ever wonder why I’m always right in these type of things and you are initially and adamantly wrong but then have to concede that I (and Lou) was (were) right?

    The point is, use logic, don’t automatically listen to what you’re told.  For Ohtani to be totally innocent, then massive failures would have had to have occurred on so many levels that it’s either a lie or it’s incompetence on a historic level.  

    I loved Ohtani as an Angel.  I, like I’m sure everyone else here, was bummed he left (and to the f’ing Dodgers).  Is that clouding my judgment?  Maybe.  But not likely.  Not with with what we know now.
