There were 10 guys in the league that posted a .900 OPS or better in 2023. Only four of them hit 40 homers. One of those guys was Marcell Ozuna, who basically rose from the grave after looking pretty much done. The other three were Ohtani, Matt Olson and Ronald Acuna.
So if you’re saying it’s sign Ohtani or the O’s are doomed, we’re in tough shape.
Further, the Braves made it just as far as the O’s despite having three of the four guys that meet your standards.
