The Dodgers will have a strangle hold on the Japanese market for the next 10-12 years because of these two signings. I expect them to be in the running for every major talent that is posted because they've got the money and the market. 2 opt out options for Yamamoto, a $50 million dollar signing bonus, and no deferments. Insane deal for him without ever throwing a pitch in MLB.

LA Times: Angels clubhouse was “Twenty-five plus one.”
Angels_Make_Me_Drink replied to BTH's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
If this turns into a slow leak to the media of how difficult it was to adjust to Ohtani, how the players weren't comfortable, etc.. thats fucking pathetic. He moved on; its time to move on too. It looks very bitter and immature on our end if this shit starts leaking out. Nobody said a single negative thing about him when he was here for 6 yeears; don't fucking start doing it now. -
Angels did not match the Dodgers offer
Angels_Make_Me_Drink replied to T.G.'s topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
This. There is no way in hell the Dodgers gave him that contract without full disclosure of his medicals. Also, isn't the surgeon who performed the surgery like the head of the Dodgers medical staff? -
100% this. I don't fault Arte for not matching the contract; it just sucks knowing that the offer was there to match it lol. No guarantee he still would've picked us had Arte said yes BUT I fail to see why at this point; any Angel fan would fault him or hate him for leaving. We didn't win with him; we weren't going to win with him on this contract. Too many holes to fill.

Trout and Rendon Games Played in 2024
Angels_Make_Me_Drink replied to Taylor's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
I just want to know what the hell happened to Rendon’s power. I know he was never a big HR guy but where are the XBH? Is it all injury related? -
I know you're being sarcastic but not all these dudes are making $40-60 million a year in endorsement and marketing deals. Yamamoto, if he lives up to the hype, could probably make a pretty chunk every year in endorsement deals. No one is exactly lining up to put Blake Snell all over everything lol.

Which is why he left for a winning team lol. He has always been very clear that winning was his #1 priority. This isn't the NBA or NFL where 1/2 players can make your team a championship level team. I personally believe if the NL had the DH when he signed with us, he would've signed with the Dodgers. Whatever, its a moot point. He gave us 6 years and we've failed to make the playoffs every single time because we can't construct a playoff caliber roster, develop a farm, and can't get lucky breaks with injuries. Hell, we've made the playoffs once with Trout. Staying in Anaheim would've been silly for Ohtani. We were all banking on him being comfortable here and hoping that would sway him towards us.
