I wouldn’t say stolen because they could’ve offered him $10 billion dollars and he still would’ve rather played with Ohtani and the Dodgers. The Phillies also do not have a rich history of Japanese players.
As a Phillies fan, it hurts that we don't. The Phillies are making more of an effort with Japanese players, but they're still behind the 8 ball when it comes to them. They didn't get Senga, Othani, Yamamoto, or any other Asian pitches the last 2 offseasons. They like their Latin players well enough but have work to do with it comes to the Asian demographic.
The answer is Hideo Nomo. The dodgers have essentially secured most if not all of the young Japanese talent, its been an investment for the past 30 years
@@payrysdoscs4903 And Senga, and Yoshida, and Suzuki, and Kikuchi, and Irabu, and the other Suxuki, and Yoshi, and Hasegawa .....as a matter of fact, slurmo has no idea what he's talking about
I’m a Phillies fan, and I’m totally cool with this. If the guy grew up a Dodgers fan and really wanted to play for them, I’m happy his dream came true.
I’ve said this before but after the report came back that the Mets matched the Dodgers offer, it became obvious it wasn’t about the money. Ohtani or not, he wanted to be a Dodger
As a Mets fan, I'm just glad we tried hard to get him. You win some, you lose some. But as long as out team is trying to be competitive, I'll be fine in the long run.
The signing of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, and several other players this offseason almost guarantees the Boys in Blue will win somewhere between 88 and 122 games during the regular season. Beyond that will remain to be seen come the postseason in October, and whether this team is in the playoffs. Yes, I’ve seen a lot of BASEBALL over the last sixty-four seasons. Let's go DODGERS 2024 !!! ⚾️⚾️⚾️ ROGER, The LOS ANGELES DODGER
Im sure there were a lot of factors that contributed to Yamamoto’s decision but I think at the end of the day, it’s like this: would you rather be given $1M to work in the place you want to be or be given $2M to work in a place ya don’t want to be. There’s not really a wrong answer here, it’s all personal preference and Yamamoto preferred LA.
Also, West Coast is obviously closer to Japan, which I guess you could argue is irrelevant if you're flying first class anyways, but still. And SoCal has the largest Japanese population in North America. They may not have been contributing factors but they sure didn't hurt.
I think the answers are pretty obvious: - Think about the clubhouse situation of both these teams. Dodgers have a manager who’s half Japanese, they have Shohei, his interpreter and of course the city which has a very diverse culture. Compare that to Philly which just seems like a white college fraternity. Just imagine Yamamoto standing in the dugout talking to only his interpreter and really only fitting in based on his success (I don’t know if he speaks English but I don’t think that would change much). - Kenta Maeda. I can almost guarantee that Yamamoto,who was a big Maeda fan growing up, asked Maeda about life in LA and playing for Roberts and he likely gave them both flying endorsements and told him, “look at my situation now. There’s no comparison between life for us in LA compared to Minnesota”. I’m sure he probably talked to Darvish too, who said he would’ve resigned in LA if not for the game 7 breakdown and obviously loves So Cal (hence the extension with the Padres). Philly isn’t for everyone.
The Dodgers have consistently shown interest in Japanese players. The list from the top of my head are .. Hideo Nomo Hiroki Kuroda Takashi Saito Nakahiro Nakamura Kenta Maeda That’s huge in comparison to a lot of teams. Plus most of those are pitchers and have had success. Add in Yu Darvish and Shohei now, the Dodgers are the team most known in Japan. That counts a lot.. don’t be surprised if Roki Sasaki signs in LA too..
Before watching this video, I hope this is just click bate. I’m a Phillies fan but I knew we had a very slim chance of getting him, especially after Ohtani signed with the Dodgers. I think most Phillies fans weren’t surprised when he went to LA.
Clickbait? I don't clickbait, it's just the truth. The Dodgers stole him from Philly by being a team he just presumably wanted to be on despite the Phillies offering more money than ANYONE
Just watched and the Dodgers stealing him from the Phillies is a click bated title. Players choose teams with lesser offers all the time. Would the Padres consider the Phillies as thieves for signing Trea Turner for less money than what they offered? Either way, I love your videos ❤️⚾️
If this story is even remotely true there is no reason why the Phillies shouldn’t sign any of the top remaining guys. That is of course if they’re being realistic. Thanks SCOTT.
The "team is mega-stacked with superstars" answer is probably correct. The Phillies and Yankees are fielding good teams that could go all the way, and the Mets are a few good pitchers away from being on their level. Shohei and the staggering payroll of the Dodgers probablt ensure he will be in the playoffs every year for the next ten.
I will only say that this man Is a great picher when he proves it in a full season bc he has not faced any mlb hitters yet I don't hype up people until they show it
no the dodgers simply had the best hand to put down for yoshi. the pitch meeting had freeman, betts, smith, friedman and ohtani. no team could have brought that heat to a pitch meeting.
Hideo Nomo is for Japan what Fernando Valenzuela is for Mexico. You can't think about one without the other. The Dodgers not knowingly (?) secured fanbases on both countries; no wonder the young players from those parts of the world wants to play in LA
He’ll still make more money palying in NY or LA. The top markets for building his “brand.” At his age, his potential endorsement income in either of those markets is practically immeasurable.
Im a Phillies fan and although I understand his decision im pretty bummed. Could you imagine Wheeler Yamamoto Nola as a top 3? Would have been sick. Also FWIW our former beloved manager Charlie Manuel coached in Japan for years and could speak some Japanese, So Taguchi and Tadahito Iguchi were former Phillies
You can't steal someone who wasn't yours to begin with. He chose the Dodgers because he wants to play there, win there. He saw a greater value playing there.
I'm sure the city had a lot to do with it. If you're a superstar and are going to take your family, friends, and heck even the whole country to games, you're going to be picky. That's why the giants are having such a hard time. I could imagine Philly is up there for craziest cities and fan bases, so that's something he had to have considered. LA just fits the Japan lifestyle it seems, wether you like LA or not, if I had to pick 1 city that has a baseball team in the states that was the most similar to Japan, it'd have to be LA
🤬 Edit: I don't blame the guy for choosing bright and sunny LA over the weird-weather Philadelphia. Also obv Ohtani being there helped the Dodgers' case
I think it's less the city of Philadelphia than the reputation Phillies fans have (e.g. how they treated Harper when he first got there). For someone moving across the world to play, thats not an insignificant factor.
maybe but at least our fans actually watch the game and know whats going on 💀. More than half of the ppl at ur games in the regular season r influencers wanting clout 🤣
Or a video of Philly fans giving a struggling Trea Turner standing ovations every time he came to the plate that turned his and the Phillies season completely around.
Who are your sources Isaac? Or is this just more clickbait and sensationalism? Manufactured hysteria. Please do better. This channel was quality at one time a while ago.
Yep. Not sure why nobody wants to acknowledge this, while the reported offer has not been officially confirmed by the team it just makes so much sense that this was the "full throttle" signing they were hoping for, considering both their history of Japanese players (pitchers especially - Nomo, Dice-k, Tazawa + Koji just to name the ones that immediately come to mind) but also the current home of recent NPB signing Masataka Yoshida.... I suppose finishing last in the ALE 4 out of the last 5 seasons makes the "passionate fanbase w/storied history" pitch ring a lot hollower than it once did :/
Seeing his pitches, they dont look any different from any other pitcher. I think we are putting the cart ahead of the horse. Of course your own teamates are gonna talk up their own teammates. We'll see how good he is when he faces a good lineup.
😂😂😂. Philadelphia was never EVER in the running!!!. It was down to my METS,STANKEES, and the Dodgers. And really,his heart was with the Dodgers all along, and just played the two NYC 🗽 teams against each other to raise his price and sign with the team he wanted to sign with all along. It really is that laconically simple.
Los Angeles or New York. Not surprising. We have to keep in these are Americas most recognizable citiee to foreigners. I'm confident there is more to France than Paris but unless one has spent extensive time in France, the person isnt going to know that.
I’m pretty sure Yamamoto had always wanted to be a Dodger and the other teams were to see what more would be offered and matching the contracts..imo…peace…
players that want to win over getting paid are the only players teams should be after. player contracts and what they get paid dont make them important or special. how rich people are doesnt make them special
You're going to see all the Japanese stars play for the Dodgers or Angels now. It's because LA has a very welcoming culture to Asians. You don't have to learn English to eat dinner like you would in Philadelphia.
they have spent over 1 billion in contracts in less then then 1 year more then some teams entire worth if they dont win/buy a world series in the next 3 years they will be the biggest failure in sports...i cant wait to laugh
Clickbait vid title. I'm sure the Dodgers drove as hard bargain as possible, but the most you can say about it is "they got Yamamoto for a steal." 2:00 California might have "crazy" taxes for those who most certainly can afford them, but at least they're up front about it, unlike, say, Texas. As long as he doesn't do something stupid and buy a McMansion in Beverly Hills or something, he'll be fine.

Dead now. 💀☠💀☠💀
They didn’t “steal” Yamamoto from the Phillies. Yamamoto chose to go to the dodgers. He wanted to play with Ohtani
Yeah I'm aware, but it's still a steal for the Dodgers. To offer less money yet still end up with the player
Dodgers stated this time is hopefully looked on as the GOLDEN ERA. They’ve set themselves up, now let’s get some chips.
Never had a chance
I mean there’s been numerous current Phillies that came to Philly for less money. It’s all about preference to some.
Yup.. Nola just recently
And trea
He wanted to play with Ohtani, and I'm afraid Sasaki wants to play with them both
He was never going to the Phillies get over it😂😂😂
And the Phillies will still make it further than the dodgers
lets come back to this...
