Lucky they only got one.

Or a Dodger. Imagine him with Freeman and Betts.

I hope he goes to San Franciso. He'll be smacking balls in the cove like Bonds used to.

Ohtani slam in the bottom of the second  puts the Halos up 5-1 over the Rays.

Blue Jays lost 1-0 on a walk off HR in the bottom of the 9th by some guy named Encarnacion.  Karma!

Gibson’s stuff tonight is good enough to win with. Hope he can pick it up.

Publicity stunt for a team that has nosedived since the trade deadline.

They are aggressive promoters. They promoted their shortstop straight from the MLB draft to the MLB active roster within months last season.

Every time I see an Orioles pitcher spike a ball in the dirt,  I ask myself "what would Severino have done with that?"

I rather him be a Dodger than a Yankee!!!

He wants to sign with a winner.  Why would he sign with the Yankees? I predict the Dodgers, SF or Seattle and maybe Atlanta.

I’m not sure the Giants are winners any time soon.

Gibson says I’ll trade single runs for crooked numbers all day.

I sure hope Ohtani is not a Yankee next year?

One of the fringe benefits of entering league title contention is the life it brings to all kinds of ancillary baseball stuff for at least Adley's next 4.25* seasons.     Like now, I really hope Ohtani picks the Dodgers, and not an AL team.

*please MLB and MLBPA do not screw 2027 up

Hard to sweep a DH as well. Tonight could be a nice start to the weekend.

That’s a homer in every park, I’m assuming. 

Not in Yellowstone.

Nice if the O's sign him, we are winners!

[Billy F-Face3]

Being a commercial break, I got to thinking... We can't rule out the possibility that Ohtani might be interested in playing with Yu Darvish on a talented west coast team.
