Yep. He gave you his best mVPs seasons played his heart out and took bare minimum salary while putting Anaheim on the center of baseball world for 6 years! Respect to Ohtani That’s coming from a New Yorker.

I'm going to be booting😡😡😡

thankyou

ありがとう🙏

Don’t feel too bad man! Players move around all the time, but they always carry your heart. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched a player I liked move to another team and still root for them to succeed.

Shohei never felt bad. He always did his best, thinking about his Angels fans. Let's let him go and welcome him when he visits the Angels stadium next year.

@@briandavis8744 you should feel bad tho. you had 2 of the best baseball players in mlb history. the 2 best of their generations. and your GM and owner were so stupid that they didnt seize the incredibly rare moment and build a team around them. on one hand, angels hit the lottery with trout and ohtani, on the other hand you had micheal jordan and lebron james and didnt win anything. not only that u didnt trade ohtani, knowing he wasnt going to re sign u didnt trade him. angels gm and owner have to be among the dumbest in sports history, i dont think their is even a comparable story to the angels saga with trout and ohtani. admitting they're colossus failure in team building around arguably the 2 best players in history, they could of traded trout and ohtani for the biggest haul of assets in baseball history, but being stupid(gm) and greedy(owner), they didnt trade them. why be an angels fan? i dont advise changing your fav team, but how could you be an angels fan when ohtani is on the dodgers and they actually try and win championships. who is going to be an angels fan now? they need to relocate im not even kidding. who would cheer for this team after the wasted opportunity by the gm and owner? whats the point? they will never win anything. they angels are more pathetic than the A's, at least they are moving to vegas and starting over. the angels are like the Cleveland browns of baseball but the browns at least try to win! they might do the worst trade and sign in sports history with deshaun watson but they at least try to win! the angels didnt try to win when they had trout and ohtani? Arte Moreno will always be one of the worst owners in sports history for not spending around trout and ohtani. los angeles angels of anaheim. what a rich old fool. how could anyone support Arte Moreno and this team and Perry Minasian. just be a dodgers fan go with ohtani. and trout should demand a trade. he will never play in a single playoff game in his career if he stays on angels. the owner and gm are the worst ever in organized sports

If it hurts then you know you liked him. Be happy for the moments and he said he always loved your team and fan base. He’ll come back 1 day. And yeah be sure cheer him on when dodgers come to Anaheim.

The Angels will win a title now, before the dodgers

yeah it was always meant to be

@@Johnson-hm4rc 　Yes, that's what his Agent said. But Ohtani is the person who wanted to feel "the best fit" with a team and who wanted to show his gratitude and appreciation for Dodgers that kept watching for and pursuing him for 10 years. Since he likes challenges and likes to play with the maximum energy for the games, he has taken so long to consider a team where he could feel comfortable, yet competitive with each other and with rival teams. Shohei still remembers Mr. Kuriyama's respect and love for him, and his WBC participation and the victory of Samurai Japan was his way to return his appreciation to Kuriyama's trust and belief in his talent as a two-way player. I still remember the time of Kuriyama's resignation celemony, when Ohtani in the E-video screen at the ballpark said to Kuriyama, "The two-way play is now being recognized in the MLB little by little, all because Kuriyama was with me, supporting and encouraging me." Shohei has such a great personality, as he has written down in his Goal chart sheet, about what he needs to have: Respect, Appreciation, and Kindness to Teammates.

국타니 + 국저스 = 국뽕대통합 😅😅😅

Nice! I’ll trade you Dodgers gear for opals! 😂

I’m from Australia and all I can say that Ohtani got me hooked to baseball now 😂

agreed. i want to see him back on the mound again. when he got hurt this year i really felt that i may never see an dominant hitter/pitcher in the same person again. so i will enjoy every moment of it when he can do it again.

The era of Shohei Ohtani as a two-way player is over. LA ownership will not allow him to remain a two-way player. Ownership will dictate his future from on high with their numbers and stats.

@@SaberToothBicyclethey wouldn’t have paid him 700 mil if Ohtani wouldn’t pitch

You sound very salty right now 🤣@@SaberToothBicycle

トラウトのアイコンでそのセリフ言われると感慨深いものがあるな…😅

あんたもドジャースにくればええんやで！

"no matter your race" wut?

OHatani

Passionate play???? He sits on the bench 75% of the game. He pitched 6 innings once a week. Now no innings pitching. Now we will see him once every nine batters, when his team is batting. So 4 maybe 5 times. I think you mean we will see Ohtani passing the plate. Here's hoping he doesn't get hurt getting off the bench.

@@hughkerins3151he will be pitching again in 2025, the contract is for 10 years. Let’s hope he does not get injured getting off the bench. It’s not everyday you get to see one of the best hitters and pitchers in the league play. This guy is on a path to becoming the absolute number one legend in baseball history.

@@luischalas Pitching again?? Quite an assumption considering it is his second operation on his pitching arm and the fact that he hurt himself swinging a bat last year. 3 years doesn't make a legend and many many players have stumbled on that path. Hope he doesn't get hurt covering 1st base from the mound too, because he hasn't master that yet. He gets in the baseline.

Yamamoto next hahaha

This Jay's fan congrats your team in the bidding war.

@@Pekoms_21I feel so bad for Jays fans. Terrible reporting getting your hopes up just for it to be ripped away like that must feel awful

You guys should have no problem going to WS

Manager Dave Roberts is half Japanese and was born in Japan. I think it's definitely possible that that influenced Otani's choice.

Go go go

これからドジャースの黄金期が始まる 誰も止められない

Fat chance

the Dodgers have been relevant and a consistent power before this moment now the Dodgers is more dangerous

Make the dodgers relevant again? When have the dodgers ever been irrelevant? Within the past decade they've had multi 100+ win seasons, won the NL west pennant 10x in a row, 3 NL pennants and a world series championship. They are the most relevant and dominant team with or without Shohei.

What's our 5 starters again......But 700 million for him😂

This contact will age very badly

@@lightlybatteredjustcrispy That's keeping it 💯

Yeah but he didnt do it injury free. So get off the soap box yo, hes human. He wont be the last player to do this in history. Youre universe is small.

he'll go through multiple surgeries won't be able to play 5 out of 7yrs...

@@JasonD-yc3oy He carried the Angels on his back all by himself and has been playing the last three years without a break. That will not happen with the Dodgers.

@@DantePowell You are the typical American mindset that has been telling us for 100 years that "two-way is impossible". Now it is 2023. You are the one who needs to come out of your small room and accept reality, loser.😂

@@DantePowelland I guarantee you won’t see anymore player like this in your life time

55ぐらいは打つでしょう

Dodger Stadium is not a HR hitter’s ball yard

Messi was like for 4 years though 🥶🥶

@@tywanharrison1225still doesn’t change the fact that it’s the most amount of money ever dealt on a contract

Inflation???

@SMOgamer1100 can you pls tell me the exact amount and for how many years..?

10 years 700 million

basketball is not like baseball you really need a team. also angels dont deserve ohtani, they wasted trouts career and they would of done the same to ohtani.

FFS idk why ppl keep comparing MLB with stupid basketball. They’re nothing alike. Baseball is the hardest major sports in the planet. Soon as they wrap their dumb basketball sized head around it the quicker they’ll realize it’s not just having 5 guys.

Nah not KD. KD jumped ship to the team that eliminated him the year before. Ohtani just switched leagues and stayed a local.

彼らの歴史はこれから始まる

And the Dodgers lose in the playoffs like every season since 1988 lmao 🤣 😂 😆 Pandemic year has an Asterisk.

​@@millypoo7713あなたの考えはすぐに変わるでしょう ひねくれた性格をどうにかしてください😂

@@millypoo7713 You've got to make it to the play-offs before you can lose in them!! How many times has your team made it to the play-offs.......let alone won?

@randallmarsh1187 But just making the playoffs when your franchise is in a big market and worth billions is NOT a big deal. It's no accomplishment just to make the playoffs when you can sign any player out there for as much money as it takes. The true mark of any team is championships. The Dodgers have ONLY ONE tainted WS title since 1988. Again, considering their payroll and accessible resources... that is terrible! One 60 game schedule pandemic title in 35 years! LOL 😆 🤣 😂

@@millypoo7713 You still won't say who your team is! Every team could be a so called "big market" team, if................they'd get better coaches, get better players, have a better farm system and won more games! That would fill the bleachers, create more fans, create more nationwide interest, and more media coverage.

Shohei chose Angels because Angels was the only team sincerely giving Shohei both starting pitcher and DH position while all the NL teams didn't have DH position in 2017. Shohei wants to challenge major as a two-way player and that's why he chose Angels since Angels gave him the real opportunity to be a true two-way player, Shohei didn't care if the team is close or far from Japan!

Frank Robinson is the only player in history to win N.L. MVP and A.L. MVP. I would like to see Shohei be the second. I also would like to see him pitch a no-hitter or win the Cy Young someday.

I just want him to get a chip with the Dodgers.

You obviously don't know anything.

It's possible, Ohtani did help with the contract structure so that it's not a major hurt on the Dodgers pay roll.

Yamamoto Will follow Ohtani 😊 and then it’s GG for all

​@@Pekoms_21yes

and they did 😁

You do realize he’s making significantly less than either of them per year

Greatest athlete ever? Relax.

Ronaldo's contract is only for 2 years l o l

@@heavensroyalty9896 "Oil money" It's not a fair assessment😅

If the Saudi Baseball League was formed, how much would they promise to pay him?

Freeman and mookie already have rings

@@Hashtonkusher1 Yep. Need this trio to get a few though together.

Dave Roberts still has to go, he can’t win with big talent

Congratulations LA you just spent 70 mil a year for DH. Brilliant! Now the whole team has to bend over to accommodate one player. He can't pitch a next year, maybe never again. Isn't a major league caliber fielder. Got a 29 year old DH who is injury prone.

@@hughkerins3151 sounds like someone's hurt

hope not
