yeah...that's what he told me. 4.5 years of nfl service to be fully vested, not sure how service is determined. i'm sure his nephew has been told by the player rep/union correspondence and his agent about the fully vested $30k a month. i'm sure that goes up every year - cola. i'm not sure how he wouldn't understand his own pension....after all, he's a golden domer.

I thought I heard or read somewhere that fewer than 1,000 players have had an eight year NFL career.

No, they will laugh at the overspend when most have previously argued “why care, it’s not our money”.

Why? I'd be more than happy to see them hamstrung with a $600 million liability for one player when they need more pitching yesterday.

That’s what his agent wants everyone to think.

No one should spend $600m on this guy. He’s just as introverted as Trout and will be an overpaid DH.

The only justification for paying out the ass for him is if you can make a majority of it back up with merch/broadcasting. They might have to put in a few new satellites for marquee to get it pumped overseas.

Trout and Two-Way Ohtani couldn't even get the Angels the Wild Card. What makes people think Ohtani and Pete Crow Armstrong are going to get us to the World Series?

Not excited to pay an injury prone player 600MIL and justify it with, "It's really 300MIL split into two people!"

Ohtani is not going to make the Cubs appreciably better and that contract will be a killer for whoever signs him. give me Bellinger and a couple others instead of

Cub fans will be lining up to suck his cock at $500 per lick. #sammysosa#kerrywood#plexiglass
It's fucking PT Barnum over there. They'll MAKE money on $600mildough outlay.

Which will still be almost half of what Ohtani wants coming off his second Tommy John surgery.

Hitters:
Sign Bellinger, Candelario, T.Anderson for bench dept. Trade for Soto and sign him.

Pitchers:

Sign Blake Snell, Julio Urías and Jordan Montgomery. Josh Hader to close and LETS GO!

Do Cub fans get angry about a non-signing (e.g., Machado) or does the GM get a “look how hard I tried even if I failed” award (e.g., Ryan Pace)?

Jesse Rogers on ESPN 1000 says there's a vibe that the Cubs are out on Ohtani. Just a vibe not anything definitely.

He says Ohtani is so private he won't reveal his dog's name.

Cubs fans will assume he’ll suck if they sign him and he’ll be the greatest player ever if they don’t.

Agreed. He lost $200 mil with that injury. But alas, someone will pay him anyway
