To give perspective on Ohtani's impact on viewership, this was reported back in March: "Approximately 97.4% of TVs in Japan were tuned in to watch Shohei Ohtani strike out Mike Trout to end the World Baseball Classic."

[srthks]

I had no idea Baseball even generated that much revenue for people to be spending that much on one player. Insanity.

[crediblesalamander]

Props to Ohtani. He's not only the GOAT of baseball, but also the GOAT of sports tax evasion.

[cxokpic]

I saw an article saying Japanese baseball writers living in CA were awaiting shoheis free agency decision because they would have to up and move their families to whatever city he chose

[amongusvr]

whoever the scriptwriter is did an amazing job. the transitions between different segments were flawless! keep it up!

[aiwash]

Shohei being the one that wanted his payment deferred till after the deal expires shows you how badly he wants to win, he essentially did what Tom Brady did for 20 years allowing his franchise to dominate for those said 20 years, maybe it happens with Shohei too

[dudethebest]

I love the Atrioc baseball arc. Can't wait for chat to watch next years World Series with Big A. In all seriousness though, would love to see Big A look at the World Baseball Classic. There's a great video about the expanding global marketplace of baseball, which as an American, is really awesome to see.

I’ve unironically loved lukefoods since he was pretty small, it’s so cool and wild that he’s a recurring character here now.

[buzz]

The guy literally does both pitching and hitting really really fucking good and nobody else does both so they gave him the most money ever

[oliveroates]

Hopefully next week we can get the biggest deal in journalism history and bring back the battle report

[zachstyles]

Would love to hear Big A talk about the economics of sports more often. There’s actually quite a large controversy surrounding Ohtani’s deferred money related to the advantage that extremely cash rich big market teams have to “strong arm” the player market.

[DNeonLamp]

As an Australian it's wild to me that McDonald's is launching an entirely new chain just for coffee when every big city or highway McDonald's in the country has a McCafe in store to provide coffee and other cafe drinks alongside whatever else you want to order there.

[bobtheominc]

I’ve always like Buc-ee’s marketing. They used to (they still may) have a sign on I-10 in Florida that advertised a store like 800 miles away (I think for in Texas).

[DankBobRoss]

As a Texan, everyone should go to a bucee’s once in their life

[TheoR]

I know they are few and far between, but I always enjoy the atrioc x baseball collaborations

[lesliejacoby]

Atrioc is far from right thinking people are not talking about Ohtani deferring his contract.

The mlb community is on top of it so much with a lot of people saying the MLB shouldn't have no cap on deferring money as they would only let big market teams do this making a pretty unfair advantage. Others argue its good for baseball.

[ShoreFell]

I knew that Messi and Ronaldo would have bigger contracts, there’s no way any other sport can compete with the money football makes worldwide.

[carlfeibusch]

What’s funny is that way more people (at least that I’ve seen) are more upset about how the dodgers will be able to stack their roster bc of it than how much taxes will be avoided

[barreltitor]

people: whos shohei?
baseball fans: HES A ONCE IN A LIFE TIME TALLENT!!!!

[RecardoGuillermo]

As a pro baseball player (and a massive fan of the Glozzler), this video is a dream come true
