He gave his 100% to the Angels to the point of blowing out his arm. He never asked to be traded and believed in them until the very end ... he was the model professional. The dude went out during his contract yr risking injury, while our best pitchers sat at home, and led his country to a WBC title. He lifted the entire profile and excitement of the WBC and bball globally. He deserves to be in a big market to showcase his skills in the postseason. Whether it is the Dodgers, NY teams, Cubs, Boston, Philly, etc ... I'm just glad he has a legit chance to get to the postseason and win a ring.
100% agreed , the fact the angels thought of themselves as a contender is a shame because we need to see him pitch / hit in the same playoff game but now that won’t happen until 2025. We will be telling our grandkids that the Angels let a 700m dollar man walk and got nothing in return
@@AL-ge4sp you can't have it both ways, you can't criticize the angels for losing him while also criticizing them for letting him walk for nothing. if they had traded him earlier, that would have guranteed 100% that they wouldn't keep him. keeping him at the trade deadline was their best shot at keeping him long term. at the deadline they were above 500, were coming off impressive form, and had a bunch of key players returning soon. going all in on making the playoffs was their best shot at keeping him, it didn't work out, and they were STILL one of the finalists to land him. the angels are not why ohtani injured himself. he injured himself because he insisted he could handle the load, even when the angels wanted to rest him. the angels weren't asking him to go as hard as he did, and he ended up doing too much for his own good. complete respect to ohtani and all, obviously an amazing professional but he is the reason for his injury not the angels. if he had been traded to a contender he would have put even more pressure on his body, and might have suffered even worse injuries. also, remember he sat out the last month of the season. rightfully so, but still, if he was on a contender he probably would have still tried to hit, which could have made his injury situation worse.
@@AL-ge4sp Why should the Angels feel deserving of something in return? They should just thank their lucky stars that Shohei chose them as his MLB debut team, and that they had Sho-time from 2018-2023.
For the past decade.. maybe 2 decades.. people who know and love Baseball, have lamented it's ever shrinking popularity. BASEBALL needs a "Renaissance" .. and THIS BOOST of popularity and attention to Baseball WORLDWIDE. The Dodgers getting him.. and expanding his reach and BASEBALL POPULARITY is a no brainer GREAT thing for baseball.
@siberianvodka dude baseball is popular all over world especially in Central and south America and east and southeast Asia for decades and now getting popular in Europe, Australia and in the parts of Africa and in thr Middle east😊
@tootspogsforever5590 The US, Japan, and a select few Latin American countries isn't the entire world 🙄. Getting popular in Europe, Africa, and Middle East??? 😂😂😂 Don't hold your breath. They already have cricket which is even more popular internationally. You don't know what you're talking about.
As an Angels fan, im glad to see him land on an exciting team he will be playing meaningful games for. Angels tried winning with him for 6 years and no results. Went all in last year and that didn't work. Angels need a complete culture change and hopefully Wash can provide that.
Let me put it to you guys simple, on how big this is. I'm a long time Dodger fan my brother is not a sports fan period, we can't get him to watch any sport with us. Well, he wants to go see this team play. That is what the Dodgers just did with acquiring Ohtani. Wow! 👍
“Pay a little, some of it back..” Shohei’s will bring in that money in hand full of years. He brought in 30-45M annually directly to a small franchise in advertising revenues and Merch sales (not including tickets, food and other) He will certainly bring in more, at least 50-60M annually 😂for Big team like Dodgers. Remember it’s now money is also coming from Korea, Taiwan and other Asian countries, while his popularity is growing in Latin America..
Harold needs to calm his ass down like the rest of the media a player should decide when he wants to let anyone know his next move. I know us as baseball fans could get frustrated, not knowing what’s going on but at the end of the day it’s the players privacy and people just need to respect that.
Contract is differed. He'll be g set ting 30-40 million a year for 10 years and get the money after his contract finishes so rhe dodgers can have a easier time building around him. That contract was also implemented by shohei. He wants to win.
The Decision didn't take basketball to another level. It made people angry. That's not what you want for a sport. Also, Shohei isn't LeBron. They have two completely different mindsets. One crowns himself of a nightly basis. The other smiles and apologizes to opponents for making ridiculous plays on them.
The big picture is the Dodgers just went right around the luxury tax. So, what good is it? oh BTW it's amazing to me how when the Padres spent a lot of money it was terrible moves for them, but man when the Dodgers do it what a great move for them.
lmao!! what a salty dude!!!. Is quite obvious why: 1. Dodgers needed a DH they got a DH (in hopes he regains his ability to pitch wich they also needed) vs. the Padres not needing another SS but geting Bogaerts only to have a "big name" splash signing; 2. The Dodgers are capable of maintaining this payroll for at least 4 more years vs. the Padres already having to cut payroll; 3. The Dodgers signed a 1st ballot HOF bound player vs the Padres signing....well....extended half their team to multiple years. Not to mention Ohtani is arguably the best player nowadays
The money has to back it up. It's like any job, all the fancy title means nothing if money doesn't back up what your employers are willing to pay, it's a show of your actual worth to them.l
Well nope... The Angels's front office missed the chance of getting whatever they needed to rebuild last season by NOT trading Ohtani and they haven't signed ANYONE yet.
Jays dodged a bullet - 700m for 10yrs translates to over 1b once you factor in the exchange rate. Why did the Jays do the smart thing and bow out instead of matching the offer? Easy - Ohtani is recovering from his 2nd Tommy John and while Im sure he'll come back and perform well we just dont know, nor do we know how his body will hold up. Nevermind your run of the mill injuries that could pop up and derail things. It's a huge risk by the Dodgers, that has the potential to be both profitable for them but could backfire horrendiously if something goes wrong. Oh, and the Jays have the richest owners in the league, they could have matched it if the numbers added up but clearly they didn't for the Jays.
The money is deferred. Allowing the dodgers to make other moves. Jays didn’t dodge a bullet they missed on the greatest player of all time in the sport. Add in the economical aspect and revenue Shohei brings all by himself. Jays have been searching for an impact lefty bat for years. This is bad for them. Now they have no where to pivot. The best hitter on the board is Bellinger who is due for regression. Soto got traded already so the trade market is lacking in the hitting category.
@Harcorwrestlerit’s great until he gets hurt again. Dude has only had one season fully healthy but dodgers fans will say he’s a god and best player all time can’t get injured
I'm a met fan but the Dodgers were only team where it made sense for both. He doesn't NEED to be a Cy Young winner or be an MVP, which he probably will but it's an easy move. I just wish Ohtani fucked the world up by going to like Cincy or Baltimore @@Zynbabwe902
"This is the biggest star on the planet." 😂😂😂 1. Only Americans and Japanese are crazy about such a boring sport. 2. Have you heard of Lionel Messi??? If Ohtani is making $700 mill Messi should be offered a Bezos-like contract
Soccer is one of if not the most boring sport ever.See,no need for me to say that .What I do is follow baseball and comment on baseball clips.i don't go to a kick and giggle soccer channel and put it down so please go back into your lane and leave our beautiful game for us who love it
@somekindaguy100 As an honest and objective person it is my duty to point out when people are lying. Ohtani and any other pot belly ass scratcher who handles a bat and balls is no where near the biggest athletic star in the world. Take your star spangled blindfold off, turn down the Lee Greenwood music, and acknowledge the world outside of your dome.
@beastly2823 Baseball is super old and super basic....but how do baseball's numbers compare to "soccer" (football) internationally...or basketball for that matter. Not even in the same ballpark.
He is good & yes he pitch & hit but do you really think he can be a power pitcher & a power hitter for 10 years! He not worth 700 million. But I will say this, I seen him at a Tigers games AND HALF OF THE STADIUM WAS ASIAN FAN.
Buddy you answered your own question. Put 2 and 2 together. Its because if he wins a title with the dodgers then the dodgers win in asia for the next 30 years minimum. And since everyone knows the future is in asia, 700 million dollars is the market price for winning in asia. That is how you think when you are globalist status not villager status
honestly. this should set the bar for top hitters and two way players forever. nobody will be better then trout and nobody I'll be ohtani. if they are they better make the same exact contracts. 70/mil a year? athats a joke. stop Alsp if multiple players are defering money thay team is screwed im the future at somepoint. think ahead folks.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how these Americans live in their bubble. Shohei is the most dominant and talented player of any sport. But Lionel Messi is the biggest star in the world; fact. The world don't care about baseball.
That why I said he is the most dominant athlete in his sport, but not the biggest star in the sports world; that honor belongs to Messi who is a legend in Europe and in ALL of Latin America and most likely China as well.@@LAbigsnoopac
Shohei also is big from a marketing standpoint, and viewing it like that, he is probably the most marketable athlete in the world. Even larger than Messi. Perhaps you should have said, I don't care about baseball, because there are parts of the world that do care about baseball.
I live in Puerto Rico, we love baseball, I love baseball. You cannot compare the marketing capacity of fútbol and Messi, with Ohtani and baseball. @@paulgodbey304
Great player but the price is outrageous. For hitting a ball, and throwing a ball. It makes me sad that society is like this. Tell the 5 million people in the US making minimum wage how they feel. The GDP of South Sudan is 417 million, 10.75 million people. Just saying. No one is worth $700,000,000. However he is a great player.
I used to make minimum wage, and have gradually worked my way up. But I'm fine with this deal. There have always been wealthy and poor in this world. As long as no laws are being broken, why should I have issue with it. The Dodgers and the players on their payroll will be paying huge sums in state and federal taxes. Although, I do agree with you on the front that modern society values entertainment, sport, and recreation WAY too much. And that fuels these industries.
In the last NBA 20 years the Warriors 6 of the years some of them back to back to back. In the last MLb 20 years the Dodgers won it one time. Nice comparison. Just because you make the playoff each year, doesnt mean you will win it all.
Except for the fact that KD made the playoffs consistently with OKC and even a finals. Shohei was part of a team that is pathetic and run horribly. Did you really expect him to go back the Angels. Would it have been good for league for him to waste his career there. Don’t you think Shohei deserves to be on a team with other stars and a franchise where everyone contributes in every aspect?
@@hepatitiscyalater7269 your comparing NBA to MLB? Think about it. You want Shohei to coach the team as well? Two different sports my man. If you think one MLB player can change a team.
@@beelstyle I’m not comparing the sports I’m just saying KD was part of team that makes the playoffs in OKC. Ohtani was part of a franchise that couldn’t even make it in. The dude above was making the comparisons
lol Shohei is not bigger internationally than LeBron James. If the NBA didn't have a salary cap, LeBron would be making a lot more money. Lots of people in Toronto prior to this thing (if you're not a sports or baseball fan) didn't even know who this guy was. Part of that is on him because he's shied away from showcasing his personality.
Oddly I think him keeping away from media has added to his mystique. You have fans of other teams going to games to watch him. LeBron is a bigger star but Otani is a bigger needle pusher. He has grown the footprint of baseball around the world LeBron has helped maintain basketballs.
He gave his 100% to the Angels to the point of blowing out his arm. He never asked to be traded and believed in them until the very end ... he was the model professional.
