Catch you didn't say greatest. You said he wasn't dominate.

If I said that I was wrong. He's dominant but not the greatest. There are other players that dominate just as much in hitting and pitchers that dominate more in pitching. I believe I was responding to someone who said he's the greatest player in history. That's saying a lot since baseball has been around for 150 years. I'm only stating my feelings about it the same way people say Brady or Montana is the greatest. It's not an absolute.

He won the MVP for the series but he was batting .159 in the playoffs prior to that last game. Even with that 3 HR performance he batted .219 for the playoffs. He struck out 17 times in 41 ABs. I'm sure he wasn't happy with his performance prior to that last game.

+ 3 other top 30 prospects on the team. Including Tidwell who looks like a solid pitching prospect for 2026.

This is exactly why I said from the start that we should offer (should have offered) him a 10 figure contract and been totally fine with it.

The LA Dodgers invested heavily in Shohei Ohtani.

$700 million over 10 years, to be exact.

That investment paid off REAL QUICK.

According to former ESPN reporter Joon Lee, the Dodgers already made the $700M back in Shohei's first year with the team.

Now thats just downright silly to pay 1 billion dollars to a guy who isnt even a dominant player.

I said it several years ago and its proven true, Shohei Ohtani, as big of a b***h as he is, is the greatest baseball player ever.

Why do you think he's a b***h?

10 years/$1.1B would have been my offer.

Bc hes a dodger and a dirty rotten gambling addict

Looks like the Giants have hired Tony Vitello. We'll see how it works out. I'll give Posey some credit for thinking outside the box and not just hiring someone from the inside. Time for a new look.

Obviously he isn't very familiar with the players in the organization but they might be an advantage. He has no pre conceverd notions about players so he may be more willing to give some of the younger guys a chance.

I like reading this.

Excited for the hire .

angry Vols fans are sending Buster mustard

He's 47 years old. Love that. He's also the first ever college coach to coach in the bigs without and major league experience. But he's a winner.
