His agent used Jays to negotiate a higher price with LA. Good for him. Making $200K a day plus endorsements. Who will say no to that?

UnkNuk Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Since I don't follow baseball that closely, what do the Blue Jays do with the $600 million they were supposedly going to spend on Ohtani? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't be spending it. Rogers considered it an investment they could profit from due to his popularity in Japan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are bleeding cash from the NHL deal so maybe nothing. There's tons of decent talent but they won't spend most of it. Cody Bellinger is still out there. They might also want to re-sign Chapman. 2 minutes ago, nuckin_futz said: I doubt they were salivating over his imaginary plane. He's already in LA and use to it.

They'd have to over pay to get Bellinger. 36 year old JD Martinez is out there as is 39 year old Justin Turner. Oddly enough Lourdes Gurriel Jr and Teoscar Hernandez are also free agents. Though they'd probably tell the Jays to piss off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 $700 million USD can buy you alot of Sushi and Sapporo. In fact, he could probably buy the Vancouver Canucks. Wasn’t Nintendo the owner of the Mariners for awhile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
