Sounds as if Ohtani is gonna make his decision sometime this week. Fingers crossed he goes with either the Dodgers or Angels.

It’s crazy that Ohtani has essentially held the market hostage. No team except the Cardinals have done anything in 5+ weeks. Hopefully he signs soon.

Congrats to Jim Leyland on being elected to the HoF. I'm biased, but I wanted to see Sweet Lou to go in as well.
As for Ohtani, I'm fatigued. I hope this is the week that they shit or get off the pot. I don't even care if he signs with the Cubs at this point, as I could make really strong points for and against. Personally, I'd like to take that money and sign all the things the Cubs need (third baseman, pitching, etc.).

Kelenic, Marco Gonzalez and Evan White + some cash to the Braves for Jackson Kowar and minor leaguer Cole Philips. So, Trader Jerry continues to get rid of expensive pieces + Kelenic (guess having Cade Marlowe and Dominic Canzone who have similar profiles made him expendable considering he didn't lit the world on fire aside from the beginning of this past season. Well, that and his foot after kicking the cooler). Hopefully there's some bigger moves being made soon enough, otherwise the Mariners will be... weirdly reshuffling this year.

Braves get richer just to eat contracts. Funny that they didn't trade him back to Mets.

I've been to many different boards and the slightest report on Ohtani and that team's fanbase is freakin' out.
I'm glad we have a much more level base board where we only react after something is done.

The issue is, Ohtani is keeping everything secret, but social media is filled with clickbait reporters who love the engagement when they mention a team is interested, so fans run with the clickbait. I see this a lot less with the NBA as people just wait for Woj/Shams to report something. With MLB, fans should really just wait for Passan to tweet something, but I guess the clickbait is too enticing.

They use to be the gold standard in sports journalism. To see them join the Othani hunt is sad. Then again, they were busted using AI reporters, this doesn't surprise me.

Ain’t shit going down until Shohei decides. And most reports, yesterday, seem to suggest that it probably won’t happen this week. Which could make for a very boring Winter Meetings. That was certainly the case on day one.

Yankees are in on Yamamoto and Soto Name attached to Ohtani as well Like I said when the season ended I think this is their f*** that we spending off-season similar to when they got Tex, Burnett, and CC Don’t see them going that hard but the fanbase expect them to walk away with two nice names coming into this season *Thinks of a healthy Ohtani in the batting lineup with Judge and giving a nice 1-2 Pitching Punch with Cole* Ah, a dream. A beautiful one, but a dream nonetheless.

A beautiful one, but a dream nonetheless. Yankees are apparently geared in hard on Yamamoto. Soto is right behind him but they don’t like the Padres asking price Some of the thinking going around is the price of Yamamoto and Soto would equal Ohtani which is route they would like to go but doesn’t mean they are saying no on Ohtani

I love that we live in a world where Shohei Ohtani exists but in the NFL one man can not kick FGs and punt.

But personally I just think the kickers are all in agreement to not try so that way they can make each team have 2 kickers instead of 1 dual-purpose kicker

Guardians win the #1 pick. The Mets get hosed and pick 19th. Couldn't even get the 7th spot to drop to 17 (due to luxury tax) lol.
