The thing that shohei has made clear is he wants to win, the Giants this season despite having flashes, finished 79-83. If the Giants want to get him, not only r they gonna have to lay money on the floor for him, but they’re gonna have to convince him that they will be a winning team and imo getting other FAs first will help a ton

With the monster payroll already allocated to Freeman and Betts? Nope. SF doesn’t have that payroll problem. Tons of room to offer whatever they want to get him. No huge contracts on their books. Will they? Who knows. They have too many holes to fill. That and I don’t trust Farhan to reel in a big fish. He and the ownership group up to this point have been far too cheap. The Giants will probably sign someone like Matt Chapman, and a few other “complimentary pieces” and call it a good productive offseason. Which would be a kick in the balls to any Giants fan. The Dodgers right now desperately need pitching. Not two yrs from now. They have plenty of offense. Great pitching and defense wins championships. They have the defense, just not enough quality healthy arms to pitch.

It can also be really brutal for left handed hitters. Just ask Brandon Belt or Brandon Crawford or Max Muncy who hates hitting at Oracle. Not sure if you're a Giants fan. If you are than you already know all of this: the center-right field fence is 415ft where a lot of lefties hit their would be home runs that turn into outs. The rest of right field is surrounded by brick archways that stand 20-24 ft high. Yes, the right field porch is fairly short, but you need to elevate the ball enough to get it over those archways. Also the damp wind, and SF is an extremely windy city especially from March through August, has a tendency to knock down hard hit baseballs that should be HRs right into right fielders' gloves. Barry was special and adjusted to the park and pulled the ball hard over the right field archways and into the cove. Not many lefties can do that. Ohtani seems to be equally special and likely will make the same adjustments Barry did. Looking at his spray chart, he doesn't do that like Barry did. Probably because he plays in a relatively hitter friendly park. Not sure where he wants to play. I'd love to see him don the SF orange and black.

Ohtani will sign with the Rangers. They were a Final 3 finisher last time and that's when they were terrible. The Rangers are set up to be a juggernaut for years and the players love playing there and for Bochy. Plus they have plenty of money available. A lineup of Carter, Seager, Ohtani, Adolis, Jung, Semien, Lowe, Heim and Langford would just be unfair. To flash forward to 2025, a SP of deGrom, Ohtani, Montgomery, Eovaldi, plus whatever big get they acquire when they deal Leody Tavares and Ezekiel Duran (a SS capable of hitting 25 HRs and hitting 3rd for most teams) to add to a top 10 farm system will be scary. If he wants to win, this would be a dynasty.

jpn TV pays 25M to the west coast team where Sho belongs. But.. it will be only 10M if he moved to the east! why? because.. The game in east coast usually start at 3 AM that no one watch tv in jpn. Therefore, ohtani is the cheap date for the team located in the west coast but, expensive for the east😅

I’m not saying he’s going to go straight to the team that gives him the most money but I am saying that none of the teams who are generally outside of top ten in payroll have a chance (sorry mariners fans but it’s time to stop the cope, y’all are too poor). Realistically the Dodgers have everything he’s looking for - huge fan base, west coast, a team full of star power, win now potential, and of course very deep pockets. I see the Giants just being a bargain bin Dodgers in regards to all of the things a free agent would be looking for. The only reason I would ever see Ohtani going to the Giants instead is if they overpaid heavy, because as long as the Dodgers want him, they will easily be able to afford a realistic offer for him.

It’s a huge risk paying him market value as a TOR pitcher in addition to as a slugger. One injury and you’re down your best pitcher and hitter. Elbow issues and you’re paying $20-25 million for a guy whose solely a position player and or reliever.

Somebody said the rangers might get ohtani . if that happens thats gonna be wild

As a giants fan I would love to see them pursue Ohtani. However, this is why that isn’t going to happen. As a power hitter chasing home run records, going to San Fransisco would be one of the worst places to play. The cold foggy weather and tall right field wall makes it extremely hard to hit home runs. We’ve seen this and haven’t had a single player hit over 40 home runs since Barry Bonds. It also makes sense that Aaron Judge didn’t want to go to Giants because his home run numbers would have gone down significantly. I believe Ohtani will most likely go to the dodgers where he can play in a more hitter friendly ballpark and have a chance to break records

The west coast bias is more likely due to closer to home. Easy flights. Great video, except you should have made it about the red sox. Get him to Boston!

We thought the same with Judge, we know how that turned out

The Ohtani contract will absolutely DESTROY any team he goes to! Anyone who signs him won’t EVER win a championship! If you’re going to pay ONE person a half of a billion dollars, that person should contribute every game. If he gets hurt hitting, he can’t pitch. If he gets hurt pitching, he can’t hit. Already he has to miss 2024 and not pitch so you lose HALF the value on this trade. Not to mention, if he slows the rehab process or gets hurt while batting next year then you’ll lose all value attached to him. MAX I’d give him a two year contract. Once he rehabs and proves he can pitch every five days and DH every day then I’ll toss in the money he deserves. Until then, this contract will easily destroy any team in baseball! Too many people think what he’s doing in the league is a rare occurrence, but most don’t realize this. In the US, for years we’ve advocated for our athletes to pick one attribute they’re good at and stick to it. If you grew up in high school or college and could pitch AND hit, once you got to the minor leagues they MADE you choose one or the other. Why?! Because again you’re a liability if you get hurt hitting then you can’t pitch. If you get hurt pitching then you can’t hit. In Japan, they’re very accepting and accommodating of two way players. This is evident when you see just how many two way players have developed in overseas baseball as opposed to the US. Isn’t it funny that now the US is accepting of two way players as several of them were drafted this year?! I like Shohei, but what he’s doing isn’t that special. He’s the perfect storm of being the best at baseball in a market where we literally don’t allow two way players to exist! If he wants a ring, he’ll take a pay cut, plain and simple. Because of Ohtani, the US will let the flood gates open and allow for more two way players to be a part of baseball, and they will arrive sooner than you think. Anyone who signs Ohtani to a long term contract will feel the effects of that IMMEDIATELY, while other teams reap the benefits years later!

As a giant's fan I'd love to see it!!!

I wonder if him being from Japan, playing for the SF Giants would be in a way an honor to him as the Tokyo Giants are the biggest team in Japanese baseball.

If I’m San Fran, I offer a 3 year deal worth $120M USD, where year 1 is at $30M USD, year 2 is a player option at $40M USD, and year 3 is a player option at $50M USD. If the Giants or Shohei want to restructure or extend, that can happen, and if the Giants need to move him, the contract isn’t going to make him an unmovable asset like Judge or Tatis.

Hi! Italk I have been here since 45k subs

Damn it no I meant to put Shanghai Golden Eagles

god i hope your right, we need to turn this team around, i will be ready to cry if it likely wont happen tho 😢

I told you! I’m from Los Angeles, I’ve been to San Francisco recently and it’s by far the worst looking city in California. Why would he want to play there over LA?

I think the Giants possibly signing Shohei could be bigger than baseball, the whole city of San Francisco could possibly built off the attention possibly fixing the hell you see in the streets of the city. I know there are politics involved as well, but singing a Shohei and having with around town definitely good publicity for the city.

The city is at its decline and businesses are leaving as the city needs a shining of light

Ohtani will sign with the Dodgers, but Giants will get Yamamoto because Yamamoto won't want to be on same team with Ohtani (too much pressure to be compared)

Giants fan here don't tempt us with a good time... as long as we don't do something dumb like give up Harrison and Luciano for Trout I'm happy.

@@nicthegiant Harrison and Luciano fit that bill. I disagree with your Webb take. He's a local kid just like Crawford and Harrison is also a bay area kid, but I do agree we need Shohei too.

Don’t stop believing!!!! Shohei to the Red Sox !!!!!!

I hope so but I kinda don't expect it. After missing out on Judge and Correa I feel like Giants will try their best to get Ohtani if not him then another top free agent

Farhan the liar, Johnson the cheap owner! I stopped being a Giants fan because of them! The Johnson's want to destroy our democracy and Farhan is a liar.

As a Giants fan, I approve this message. I really wish it would happen in this off-season. Fingers crossed.

This video broke my heart as a dodger fan, but your making good points . U might be right 😢

Ohtani will sign with Dodgers, already decided. This is an insider knowledge.

Would LOVE Ohtani to come to SF. Now that the DH is league-wide, he doesn't need to be AL anymore

Money isn’t the problem with shohei he will get paid, its whatever plan franchise’s have to offer to win now and the future which is what the dodgers have there in win mode now and the future with a great farm system something the giants don’t have and aren’t in win now mode.

Ohtani will sign with the Rangers and here's why: 1) No state income tax 2) Rangers can actually afford him 3) he can slot in behind Mitch Garver at DH to help recover his elbow 4) The Rangers need more depth in their bullpen and a dual threat like him would be perfect 5) Ohtani wants a ring and will want to be on a team that can win

I love my Giants, but Shohei wants to win.

GIANTS FANS…DON’T FORGET WHO JUST WENT TO THE WS AND WH0 JUST WON THE WS…!? The Texas Rangers and The Arizona Diamondbacks would be the teams to be beat next year, not the Giants!!

Giants fans we also have to keep in mind that while he is a two way player he is also a pitcher and the giants have been really touchy about giving pitchers big contracts, i would love to see the giants get a big star like otahni but it is gonna take a lot and this rebuilding process needs to speed up…a lot for all of this to work out.

Don’t do this. Don’t give me hope

They better do something. The attendance at the new park had mostly been in the top 5 until 2018, and after that it's been between 10-15.

If the Dodgers want him, they will get him. Giants can't outbid Dodgers. They can push the number to where the Dodgers feel Snell and another all-star bat makes more sense. Still think they will sign Ohtani.

Buddy, where do dodgers get money if they ain’t winning money? World Series wins money, losing post season makes players turn heel like ohtani who won’t see a future with dodgers

The Giants can absolutely outbid the Dodgers if they need to, the dodgers had a $240m payroll last year and need to add quality pitching. There's no way they can shell out more AAV than the Giants, especially cause they're gonna be paying 50% extra for the luxury tax

​@@Zachrdoodlereally... tell me more about how the Giants will outbid the Dodgers and get Ohtani.

a sleeper team that I think might be aggressive with trying to sign him is the Mariners.

What if the Giants sign Ohtani and then trade for Trout? Wild…

Ohtani like you mentioned wants to win, Ohtani joing the Giants would be the equivalent of the Angeles.

there a lot going on in the front office rn. i dont think they will get him sucefully but as a giants fan i wanna see it

Might be a stretch considering the Giants had a losing record and the now defending world champion Rangers are most likely gonna be calling.

The dodgers need him. Someone to actually be good in the postseason(hopefully ohtani is good in the postseason)

As a giants fan, you are fueling my delusions. I thank you

You are out of your mind if you don't think he's going to the Dodgers.

I agree. An additional point I think that you could have mentioned that I think hurts his chances with the Dodgers is the fact they're currently are in shambles with their pitching I feel. Them tacking on another 40M+ to their payroll for another hitter when they're deep in their lineup and could better spend that money on pitching for next season doesn't make as much sense to me. I think Giants get Ohtani & Dodgers pivot to Yamamoto & Snell to bolster their rotation significantly.

He’s going to the Rangers to play for a winner and make his legacy. He doesn’t need money. He values winning over money. Not to say he won’t get a huge money contract either way but winning over everything else.

Ohtani camp already said that they are paying attention to roster construction, not location. Dodgers have two of the best players in the west on Freeman and Mookie Betts, a deep bullpen and a better manager in Dave Roberts, they also go to the playoffs on a yearly basis. Rangers, Mariners and Astros have all have a better chance than the Giants who would have Ohtani stuck in non playoff contention for at least a year. Bob Melvin, California and money is not enough for Giants to get him, he’s most likely to consider the Dodgers.

I do think the Giants will have a very big offseason. I could see them getting both Nola and Snell. But they would be extremely foolish to let those guys pass in the market to wait for Ohtani. Because the odds of Ohtani picking them over the Dodgers is literally 5% at best. Dodgers just have too big of an advantage in location, winning culture. And the Giants won’t be able to outbid the Dodgers either. If they somehow did it wouldn’t be by enough to offset those other 2 big factors
