Just seems like an odd reason for a guy that doesn't really seem like he's motivated by attention. That was my thought. It is a great city based on a couple of times I visited. Fans will go crazy no matter where he is. Even if there are four more teams in the state or even one across town.
December 8, 20232 yr This is pretty fun for anyone that has been following the Reddit Ohtani plane threads.

I'd like to be the insurance salesman writing that policy. I was watching something where he basically makes you at least $30 million a year just being on the roster.

December 8, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, Texsox said: How much of that goes away if he's injured or just playing average? From the piece, it wouldn't seem much, but if he's bad for a while, it will have to shrink. New team revenue from Japan. I guess the Angels were making a mint on Japanese advertising.
December 8, 20232 yr Need him to go to the Jays. Then we need the Yankees to land one of the Japanese starters and for Boston to wakeup and make couple additions. Put a little more pressure on the O's.
December 8, 20232 yr If the Jays don't end up getting Ohtani after the initial reports, I can't even imagine what a gut punch that would be as a Toronto fan. Like last year's "Arson Judge" to the Giants, but 10x worse.
December 8, 20232 yr Just now, Squirmin' for Yermin said: What did Dave Roberts say? I missed that He came out and acknowledged the Dodgers were in on Ohtani and that he was their "number one target."

December 8, 20232 yr Author Did the teenager who had Musk’s private plane tail # info get involved here as well?

December 8, 20232 yr Lol. 18,000 people are now watching the supposed flight. https://www.flightradar24.com/N616RH/33251c37
