Am I the only one here who does not want Ohtani or believe that he is worth the $600m that is being floated around?

I am no expert. I just want to leave the above link and this one for your review: https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/shohei-ohtani-player-injuries

He’s worth more than that in revenue to the franchise from tickets, merchandise and clothing, advertising, and Japanese syndication of games. So yes, definitely.
To answer your question, yes.
yes. yes you are.
Honestly, I don’t think he’ll be worth it. Two TJs are tough to come back from l. That said, I need someone to hit 30+ home runs for the giants, and they should pay any amount of money to get it.
I want it in my heart, even though my head says no.
Farhan’s favorite foot soldier lmao
Who cares how much he gets. Not your money. And if they sign him, they obviously will bring in more talent to help him because there is no way he’s coming here if he’s going to be the only big move this franchise makes. So yes, you’re the only one.
This is what you say to yourself to soothe yourself if the Dodgers get him. Dude is a beast. We want him
We know this is you posting Farhan
I’d rather have Yamamoto and Bellinger honestly. But I don’t think Yamamoto is coming, and Bellinger alone isn’t as exciting as Shohei. Sadly, I don’t think even a Bellinger caliber signing will happen
According to another article I read he cannot even pitch until 2025. My prediction is a decent DH in 2024 and an average pitcher in 2025. He is simply not worth the risk. Let the Dodgers blow their wad and we can sit back and watch with schadenfreude.
How is he not worth that? You have the whole Asian market if you get him
Short answer? Yes.
Long answer? Yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss
Worth 600 million to a franchise not to a fan. He may never pitch again. What people really aren’t talking about.
No there are plenty of fun-haters
The money to pay his contract is not coming out of your pockets. The amount of money the Giants will make off of jersey and ticket sales alone will make that 600 million a non issue. You have to pay to play. It’s just the way it is. You can’t expect the Michael Confortos of the world to win you championships. Don’t be cheap.
I want him but I hope he doesn’t get injured. I mean, again.
If the Dodgers get Ohtani, we as a fan base need to come to terms with the fact that we just can’t punch at the same weight as them. The years and years of bad drafting, frugal spending, and commitment to subpar “forever Giants” has made this a really unattractive destination for big name free agents. It’s just the way it is.
He’s cool and unbelievably talented. I just don’t think he changes much around here. We have a very deliberate way of constructing our roster, both in the long and short term. I think he’d be in a similar situation to his time in Anaheim: destroying the league on a losing team.
He’d sell tickets and merch but I don’t see any of that money so I don’t care. I wanna win. He’d help, but not enough to overcome whatever it is we’re doing in signing/developing/evaluating players.
Hopefully you are the only one. And hopefully we get him, because we are half way into this offseason and nothing so far
Have the Angels won anything with him?
I would enjoy having him on the team. The payroll distribution is not my problem.
I will route for him if he’s a Giant or if he goes to any of the 28 other teams that aren’t the Dodgers. Special player at any price.
