@speed
he actually had a chance to go earlier but opted for some time with the Nippon Ham Fighters
in retrospect probably wasted years

Would like to see him go to a legit contender.
the ultimate goal is to win a World Series, or at least that is what it was in the good ol days.
who knows what motivates these young players today

Sure, it’s possible
but these injuries he has are not insignificant
one will likely require a second surgery. Can he bounce back? We will see.

Posted in: Angels star Ohtani to have elbow surgery See in context
As I’ve said before
there are limits. He has a serious choice to make.
wonder what is more important to him? Winning a championship or continuing the two-way thing. I doubt he can do both.
before you all freak out keep in mind that a team that wins a World Series has to put individual whims of the players on the back burner.

This is not a good sign.
I know this will get a lot of down votes but he needs to rethink the whole two-way thing. There’s a limit to how much the body can take.
he’s proven he can do it. Now it’s time to adjust so that he can hopefully have a long career.

He’ll keep saying this until he gets a career-ending injury which may come sooner than expected if he’s not careful.

There is something seriously missing from this roundup. Could it be the final scores of every game except the Japan one?
this is sloppy journalism either on the part of AP or JT. Not sure who but someone dropped the ball here.
Moderator: The scores have been added.

They’ve allowed Ohtani to dictate the terms from Day 1. I’ve never seen a team be so reckless with a star player. Highly unprofessional.
