The Ohtani talk is heating up. An article in The Athletic talking about possible teams acquiring him and what it might take.
Harrison was deemed not part of the deal but Luciano and Whisenhunt and Vaun Brown and possibly Matos were thought to be possibilities.
For one thing, unless Ohtani was locked up with a contract extension, there is no way I would do a deal.
Secondly, dealing Luciano would be really tough. But it’s baseball and how often does 1 guy make a championship contending difference? Look at SD and the Mets with all the high profile talent they have brought in.
You cant trade for Ohtani. Trading 2 of your top 5 prospects only for him to go to LA in the offseason would be absolutely devastating…. Give him a blank check this off-season and see what happens, but he’s going to LA. We’ve seen the free agent song and dance enough to know the result.
