When you play a game in San Diego in The Show, you can see planes landing in the background past the stadium, which is cool, I guess.

Theo should code into the game a 757 crashing in the background and horribly burned bodies flying into the park to scare Ohtani away from the clearly probable event

Yeah, hopefully Jed made up all kind of insider slander from his brief time damned to SD.

Preller: I've got some good news and bad news.

Ohtani: *nods*

Preller: Our park is huge, you'll never give up a home run here.

Ohtani: Wonderful.

Preller: But on the flipside you'll never hit one either.

Or the Dodgers. I think no one else has restrictions right?

Padres are under the restrictions, too.

Could be the Angels, collecting pool space for their recent Braves free agent spree.

Doesn’t that come out of next years pool?

That's what has been assumed, yes.

They clearly heard we got him in the bag and this is a last attempt to woo him with more money

I'm surprised 2 teams traded for slot money back to back. Wonder if there's word that he wants more money, or if they're both desperate?

Seems like a desperate, last ditch, effort to me with 2 teams doing it back to back where they feel they don’t have an edge and they feel this moves a needle. Or else I guess it could likely mean nothing and maybe they are doing it for Braves guys or something else.
