I actually kind of see this happening, lol.

In the end, I think Ohtani lands with someone who is not being talked about, though.

Dodgers GM seemed shocked about Roberts comments. I think Dave made an oopsie, lol.

As still draw 9,000 fans in Oakland, then play in Vegas AAA ballpark for a few years in the most expensive baseball games ever (with a 10,000 seat stadium charging 4x the ticket prices to get their profits up to the 40,000 seat stadium numbers, then x2 on that for the Ohtani factor, the math checks out).

don't encourage me lol...

FWIW, Nightengale said the Cubs dropped out cause they "balked at" the asking price of 10 years $500M....which I find very hard to believe. There's no way they would remain in any sort of serious contention for this long if they weren't willing to meet that ask....that's been the baseline estimate through this whole process.

Don't think the Cubs end up getting him but Jed Hoyer pushed back on the report that they dropped out.
