Shohei created his own industry 📈 #shorts

[sharpie]

The angels fumbling this generational talent still insane

[HoodrichDrakeo]

Dodgers don’t need Soto. We need pitching. You don’t need multiple superstars to win. We need the same core guys that have heart and grit. Getting it done in the bottom of the lineup

[chookgoo]

No Soto for Dodgers please. His personality doesn't fit dodgers. Also dodgers should keep Hernandezs, Edman, and focus on starting pitchers.

[grizz]

Pass— sign Teo to a 2 year, with a 3rd option, go after Roki Sasaki, resign Treinen for one more run and pick up some more bullpen depth

[steveo.]

600M split amongst Teo and a couple of quality starting pitchers would be way better!

[oldschool]

What a bargain. 700 mil seemed impossible to make any sense financially but Shohei is just a different beast. Congratulations to the Dodgers on this deal 💙

[farmerlarbear]

No no no no Soto!!!! I think anyone who “knows” the Dodgers knows they probably don’t really want him. Especially if he thinks he demands Shohei numbers. That’s delusional.

[degenwest]

No soto. Keep Teo, Edman, Walker. Go for starters and bullpen.

I have some friends who work at Universal Studios Hollywood, and the number of Japanese tourists they got this year was almost double the annual average. The knock on effect from Shohei is wild.

[RunningUpStock]

No Soto, we don’t need that dude in our Dodger squad, please don’t even entertain the idea, that chemistry would be tainted with him in there not to mention the price tag….

[clorox]

Soto doesn’t belong with the Dodgers, we need players who mix well with the team

[consistenc]

My wife works for a small wholesale distributor of mostly US clothing and accessories that are sent to Japan. Ohtani’s jerseys, shirts, caps etc are currently their best sellers.

[lalalahihihi]

soto is NOT worth $600m… hopefully the dodgers just resign and extend our guys and invest in our bullpen!

[jaad]

This is huge for LA because anyone with the money to travel internationally to go to a ballgame is going to spend elsewhere in LA too.

[JJ]

Pitching, pitching, pitching! Forget Soto. He's not needed.

[dannggg]

Soto is not worth 600 million. Wild. Guy is a good but he’s a defensive liability.

[jorgecea]

I would prefer the Dodgers resign Teo. Soto is undeniably a great talent, but I worry about his ego. The Dodgers team is built on egoless players. He is also a defensive liability and we just saw how bad defense can cost you in the post season. If Soto can let go of his ego and focus on his defense maybe they bring him in. But i would love to see the Dodgers run it back with most of the same team from this season.

[KevinCollects]

Soto can go back to the Yankees or Padres or go with the Angels, Mets or Red Sox… not with the Dodgers. We don’t need him and his cocky attitude.

[aarongarcia]

Pitchers! Save up for Roki and more. The bats were good and they shouldn't mess with the chemistry

[Elver_Gon]

We want Sasaki in Dodger blue instead of Soto
