capone  
DanMetroMan : 12/8/2017 2:07 pm : link
is officially, beyond a shadow of a doubt LEGIT. Not only called the team but said it would come today (when EVERYONE) said next week. capone is a legit insider when it comes to baseball. I would never doubt him.
Angels it is.

As a Yankee fan, I can live with it.
I predict  
YAJ2112 : 12/8/2017 2:12 pm : link
the Angels will get him
Exciting  
JoeMoney19 : 12/8/2017 2:12 pm : link
and thanks for sharing. What does "give it up" mean exactly? Dan will be impressed by the insider info? Dan will be the one to pass the news along? It will be good for the Mets? Sorry if I'm being dense.
I'm gathering from other threads  
JoeMoney19 : 12/8/2017 2:16 pm : link
it will likely be the Mariners.
hah

No one loves to tout themselves more than Mr. Mariner.

He already announced he's signing with the Angels.

mattyblue : 12/8/2017 2:19 pm : link
is the purpose of not just telling us? No offense, but are you just posting to say I know what he is gonna do and I am not telling anyone?
Ah my bad  
JoeMoney19 : 12/8/2017 2:19 pm : link

He likes to show off.
Just announced  
Beer Man : 12/8/2017 2:21 pm : link
that he signed with the Angles
I predict he goes to the Angels  
EliIsEliteX2 : 12/8/2017 2:23 pm : link
.
I predict he never wins a damned thing  
Greg from LI : 12/8/2017 2:25 pm : link
Whole lotta .500ish baseball in his future. But hey, LA has great Japanese restaurants so, score!
Angels got him  
JonC : 12/8/2017 2:26 pm : link
per ESPN.
Ohtani's agent  
JoeMoney19 : 12/8/2017 2:27 pm : link
Nez Balelo: "What mattered to him most wasn’t market size, time zone or league but that he felt a true bond with the Angels. He sees this as the best environment to develop and reach the next level and attain his career goals."

Crazy so few guessed what he was really thinking.

I wasn't part of those discussions but congrats/thanks capone if you leaked the info early.

Where’s the fun in that?

And capone thanks for your contributions, always appreciated

Good score for the Angels, they’re system has been pretty bare recently. My numbskull Angels fan buddies from out there must be all giddy. If they’re still Angels fans that is, I’m pretty sure some jumped ship to the Dodgers.
Must be some hurt feelings up in Seattle.  
bceagle05 : 12/8/2017 2:29 pm : link
They added more money just this week via trade to sweeten the pot for Ohtani, now they watch him go to a division rival that finished right above them in the standings. Oh, and Houston is going nowhere.
Dude passed up many millions so he could play for the.....Angels?  
Greg from LI : 12/8/2017 2:29 pm : link
baaaahahahaha

Wow, this  
Pete in MD : 12/8/2017 2:37 pm : link
guy didn't come crawling on all fours begging to play in pinstripes?! What an asshole!
He can play for whomever he wants  
Greg from LI : 12/8/2017 2:39 pm : link
But all the flowery words about a sad-sack organization that hasn't been relevant in a decade or so is amusing. If he signed with the Cubs or the Dodgers no one would be mocking him.
hopefully this helps get Trout  
PaulBlakeTSU : 12/8/2017 2:43 pm : link
to October
The Angels have had a great week  
Jay on the Island : 12/8/2017 2:54 pm : link
They get Ohtani and Kevin Maitan.
I wonder if the Angels  
cjd2404 : 12/8/2017 2:58 pm : link
promised him the DH role and 4th outfielder or something as well as pitcher that no one else offered on their presentations

How dare he pick a team based on fit and not money! He’s going to make it up with endorsements and his next contract
Eppler  
DanMetroMan : 12/8/2017 3:19 pm : link
is an impressive guy. The Yankees would likely block it but if I'm the Mets I'd be eying Oppenheimer to replace Sandy after the year.
Awesome..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 12/8/2017 3:39 pm : link
small market team to choose.....
Re Eppler  
JoeMoney19 : 12/8/2017 3:59 pm : link
per Rosenthal

Agent (not from CAA) on Ohtani signing: “Eppler made this happen. 100% all him. He has been on Ohtani since he was in HS and I will bet he absolutely crushed the presentation. This is a credit to him.” Eppler visited Japan while with NYY and after becoming LAA GM in Oct. 2015.
