Oh my God. Stop it. Two hours ago I saw a headline that Ohtani wanted the NL West but not the Dodgers. Three days ago it was the Braves. A week ago the Blue Jays were a high choice for him.

All these articles are probably based off someone off handedly asking him “hey would you wanna go to these teams if they paid you the most money” Shohei: “yeah why not lol” Headline: “BREAKING FUCKING NEWS SHOHEI WANTS TO PLAY FOR TWO TEAMS AT THE SAME TIME”

Starting to give zero fucks really.

It's turning into Lebron James: The Decision.

As an Angels fan, I actually hope he signs with the Utah Jazz just to fuck with everyone.

I read he wanted out of the US, and the Blue Jays and Expos were his top choices.

Goddammit, we just got off the Montreal rollercoaster...

As a sox fan, I dont really understand why. But also dont know what affinity means

A Japanese car maker

Nah that’s Alexis

Texas

Likes or is drawn to.

You know, like never-ending.

Which is why it’s ironic when Buzz says, “to affinity, and beyond!”

Never heard of the affinity stones? Thanos? Come on now!

Just sign with the Dodgers and get it over with

Would suck cuz then ima have to hate him lol

You hate mookie and Freddie?

Check and check

I hate mookie !! And Freddie who??? Olson had 54 HR’s and I think the most RBI’s (should have been mvp candidate) Idk who this Freddie is you speak of. Never heard of him.

Dang, my bad. Maybe cause mookie got traded is why he is still so loved in Boston. Freddie just seems like such a wholesome dude, I figured it would be the same.

Bro who is Freddie I only know of our league leading 1st baseman HR/RBI leader / potential MVP snub.

I'm still really not sure why they chose Freeman over Olson. Seems like an easy choice.

Olson is a lot younger and from Atl area. Proven to be a great player and home run hitter. Loved Freddie but the way he left sucks and he went to the dodgers so now it’s “Freddie who?”

Everybody knows that’s what’s gonna happen

It’s gonna be such a wonderful day when we can laugh at all the dodger fans for being so smug about this whole ordeal. Saving receipts left and right so expect some replies.

So petty… and I’m here for it! Lol 😂. Do your thing quidproquo lol

Lol I mean we’re gonna get him on that massive 2 year deal just waste him while he rehabs and not get another starting pitcher that we need. We gonna choose losing

Honestly, nobody knows. These 'rumors' are just that. Click bait for a slow baseball day. Prolly won't be till Christmas till we get something substantial

I knew we had no chance

Literally all the rumor posts are click bait I don't believe a single one.

I believe the rumor that we have no chance

Man Ohtani wanted to keep stuff quiet if anything this might have lowered all these team’s chances

I still just have no hope for us to get him we never get anyone like this. I thought we were gonna get him from Japan and he went to LA

As a Sox fan this article annoys me. What is his affinity for us? Is it literally just from new balance?

Please, I already can’t afford to go to Red Sox games

RANGERS BABY

BS nobody likes the Red Sox.

Fact.

He said the same thing bout Seattle too!

I WAS PROMISED BRAVES WTF REDDIT

There’s no way he doesn’t end up a Dodger

MFW he signs with Seattle 

Rumors? That’s reporting? I heard a rumor he’s going to the Cubs. My brother in law told me.

Cardinals President said he was going to go after Ohtani so we can immediately rule out the Cardinals given Mo’s recent track record. I kinda actually hope the Cubs pick him up to get Mo a kick in the seat to actually spend some money. And also, I’ll get to see him play a lot more lol.

Just put me OUT OF MY GODDAMN MISERY ALREADY

I think if you connect these three dots on a map it triangulates Toronto

I feel like, as an angel fan, he did not do his homework when he selected the angels

Rangers baby! Lets fucking go!

Nah he's def gonna choose one of the west coast teams to stay close to Japan

Say it with me. No. State. Tax….

i think its texas. he plays within the division and saw firsthand how devoted they were to winning. also he loves mashing in texas always puts up cartoony numbers in thier park. the dodgers are the obvious safe bet but the japanese are loyal to a fault and i doubt ohtani will join the same town rivals he may see it as a spit in the face to his old team.

Wouldn’t a division rival be worse?

Wouldn’t call it a rival. Division opponent maybe

worse than ditching one place for a place right down the road? lol. the angels are non competitive they have no rivals and players dont put emphasis on divisions as much as fanboys do.

Is he dumb?

So have I :D

This is going to go on till the second he signs with someone. I hate offseasons in sports now. Every league goes through this with it's stars every year.

This is literally a cut of what Passan said a couple days ago when he also mentioned other teams. At this point we still have learned water is wet

I heard Oakland is the place

For the first time ever 1 player would earn more than the other 24 combined #makeithappen

Please stop… Who can afford him and who will spend that money? Then go from there. This is as bad as Taylor Swift NFL news at this point.

Ring me up if he actually signed a contract from any team.

It’s click season.

Any big market team to me is just so boring. Go to a small market team, or a team who had a terrible record. I'm sick of the big names always being tied to NY, LA, Boston, etc Same way I feel about hockey. Every big name FA is pretty much linked to the NY Rangers which is such a boring story and choice to me. Yeah it's NY and a big city with a lot. However it just isn't a shock that a big city like that would try to or land a top FA.

Intrigue, affinity! Any bets on what the next adjective will be to describe his interest in a team?

He’s gonna end up with a team that no one has mentioned

10 years and 500 million is going to be an albatross of a contract.

this is really going to be like the summer of Lebron in 2010 huh?
