I just informed some random dude with a Red Sox cap on that they're out on Ohtani.

 

Safe to say he's not a die hard fan.

As was mentioned it was stupid New York “small market” talk since everyone other than them is a peasant in their head. The remaining markets so far are Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, San Diego and Dallas. Those are all large markets.

I almost thought I was still reading a Yankee message board.

Do you think the Phillies got a formal rejection or did they just figure the interview the other day would suffice?

I just assume he’s going to make his announcement to which non-Phillies team he picks in front of the Rocky statue

well this is great news

I know whoever gets them puts them in the front-runner position for the long term, but it will pretty much only be a one year deal no matter who he signs with because of the spending limits, right? Then he goes off into free agency?
