Yamamoto has said that he wants go to a team with another Japanese player on it...
Don't even worry about it. The Dodgers will run the table in the regular season until about mid August then nosedive and bomb out of the playoffs just like they do every year. One player (even one as good as Ohtani) isn't going to change destiny.

At this point we should just hope we’re better than Colorado.

I didn’t expect my Cubs to land him and I’m sure it hurts more for you guys landing with the Dodgers but this was probably the best landing spot for him from a legacy perspective. He has a shot to go down as the best ever

Ah, ok. Has Chapman fallen off so badly to settle for a one-year deal? I had somewhat talked myself into feeling good about Matt Williams coming back to coach Matt Chapman.
At this point, and I may be missing some guys, but Farhan needs to ink a couple of these guys…..Yamamoto, Korean CF guy, Bellinger?, Blake Snell I think is out there…..I feel like I’m missing someone off the top of my head.
Those guys above immediately bring some juice to a team. Signing a guy like Hoskins would be solid but Giants need more than just solid. Really need a middle of the order dude to anchor it. Rotation needs a clear cut number 2.
Other wise, Farhan needs to sell his soul to the devil and hope that Luciano is the next great SS, that Meckler and Matos are the next great OFs in Giants history.

You’re not gonna like me saying this but I’m guessing this is so the Dodgers have enough money to go after Yamamoto too lol

Im not even mad: they’re just a superior franchise in all aspects: it isn’t a rivalry anymore. We aren’t even a little brother.
This is BS. What a dumb rule
I very much doubt our ownership signed off on $701 mil for Ohtani. Underrated, they're very very cheap for being a major market.
So, are the Dodgers going to have that delayed salary count against the cap at the end?
Easy fix for baseball is to count the value of yearly contract against the cap to stop this type of shenanigans.
And some of the baseball writers have the gall to say there is nothing wrong with baseball. The casual fan will watch games when they know a star player.
No. Looks like it is $46M annually against the CBT during the contract, and nothing thereafter.

You think the Giants should have offered $10 million for Joe Kelly, I take it?
