Just one more reason for the rest of the entire league, and their fans to hate us. We're now, without a doubt, MLB's unwanted stepchild.
FU*K 'EM! WE DON'T NEED 'EM!
This news has absolutely made my day, and has absolutely cheered my offseason up until the 2018 season begins.
Wow. Just wow. Nobody, absolutely nobody, can believe that he'd skip the doyers or stankees.
Did anybody else hear why he chose the Angels? Word on the street was we were the team he talked to that felt less like a "business" and more like a (just paraphrasing) "team and place he wanted to be a part of and grow with." Those kind of intangibles are valuable, and for some guys, no amount of money is going to make them miss an opportunity to be a part of something like the Angels apparently do with their players.
I've already heard so many people talking shit on the Angels and Ohtani, a COMPLETE 180 from all the high praise and talk in the past month or so.
I'd expect all the sports radio and TV shows to just gloss over this signing, pretty much like they do with any kind of Angel news.
