1. I can think of a certain someone who offers both 🤔

2. Sure, Ohtani will probably get $500 mil in the off-season, but he’ll probably generate that much in merchandise alone in the decade he would be here…

3. I am so nervous for this next week. Fingers crossed!

4. Wow they’re going to get both for free?

5. Ohtani confirmed

6. You receive: A shortstop who hits for two months and can’t play shortstop + a starter who has an arm that might fall off at any time

   We receive: The most talented and expensive player of all time who might actually generate profit for the team still.

7. Jordan Montgomery off the top of my head. Cards should be sellers

8. Bartolommeo Colon?

9. They should add someone like Nolan Jones or Will Benson.

10. We should go for someone like Randall Grichuk from Colorado. He’s a free agent after this year and Colorado may sell for cheap considering their record and his salary

11. Are the White Sox selling?? Andrew Benitendi is an Ohio kid. Pure hitter

12. Get a bat and hollow it out, Albert Belle style. Put in a little Bluetooth speaker. Stream a coach’s voice to it.

    “You’re doing great! What a swing!”

    Voila, complementary bat.

13. Give me Ohtani or give me… Lane Thomas and Jordan Montgomery. Or Bellinger/Stroman. Honestly, I’m cool with a lot of deals. Grichuk, Hendricks… could we find a spot for Candelario? There’s options.

14. Shohei Ohtani confirmed!
