Imagine being so badass that your pitch to recruit a guy is, “yeah, you get to play with me.” Puts shades on, refuses to elaborate, and walks out meeting room.
“You get to play on the team I play on.”
“You son of a bitch, I’m in.”
Hye-Seong: He had me at “hello.”
Apparently the Angels offered him 5 years for 28 million. Wonder if Shohei warned him about the Angels lol
Ohtani is going to do what once seemed impossible and make the fans of 29 teams hate him.
The advice: Sign with the Dodgers
“I’ll buy your wife a Porsche.”
$700m is like 1/3 of what Ohtani is actually worth to a team
All Friedman has to do at this point is put out low bid fliers to any free agent and answer the phone when they bite. It’s like passive income for him. He’s probably surprised Kim signed and is more annoyed he’s gotta answer questions about Lux now.
Ohtani fucking the Angels, again.
😭
Dodgers cementing their legacy as the New York Yankees of baseball
Sasaki please just don’t be a dodger
If it’s one thing that will end animosity between South Korea and Japan, it’s dodgers baseball and their face, shohei Ohtani.
I’m sorry, if there’s a team you shouldn’t take a discount to join, it’s the Dodgers.
Oh for ducks sake.
It was probably something like, wherever you go, don’t go to the Angels
This sport is fucked.
He admitted Han woo is better than wagyu
Poverty franchise dodgers need to sign players at a discount.
Japanese and Korean relations improving
This is fine. Everything is cool
LeShohei strikes again
Shohei: Hi I’m Sho..
Kim: done deal!
Broken sport
What other offer did he have?
How did they communicate?
I wonder how low of an offer dodgers can go before someone say no
