It’s kinda crazy that the Angels got NOTHING out of their time with Shohei.

[OnlyOneBoss]

I mean genuinely NOTHING


AND they had prime Trout with him.


Probably the worst a franchise has ever fumbled with a player ever

nikka took a 45 minute drive to stardom and all the glory

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

Ohtani knew what he was doing when he bounced. He also knew he didn't want the pressure of east coast media on his azz

 

[Ruck]

[Jayou Ayen]

I mean genuinely NOTHING


AND they had prime Trout with him.

Mike Trout has played in 3 playoff games and won 0.

Couldn't even make the playoffs once.
Barry Bonds best teammate with the Giants was Jeff Kent.

don’t sleep on the Mets. $765 million plus a $75 million signing bonus for Soto.

If you go to the games Angel fans are some of the dumbest fans I've ever seen.

They have a video montage before the game of all the past greatness and when Ohtani comes up they boo him. Call him a "traitor"

He gave the best years of his life and wasn't rewarded so he left and they boo him? Do they boo domestic violence victims when they leave their husbands?
Probably.

Then their white savior Trout comes up blasts a few HRs and calls it quits 1/3rd of the way through the season to enjoy life in SoCal. But he hears no boos for being perpetually injured or not giving a damn. Not being a team leader or push for additions to the team he just cashes his check and bounces early. And they cheer this man like he's Trump come home.

You have to wonder how this works and I conclude its just a lack of self-respect. They boo someone great who chases something greater and cheer someone who stays with them in a bad situation. It's pathetic.

 

[Da_Eggman]

They tried too just keep over paying for bum FAs

The rendon contract was one of the worst in sports history

[AlbertPullhoez]

They ruined Albert Pujols career

 

[2legit]

I had to look it up, even the Detroit Lions sad ahh franchise got 6 playoff games and a NFC Championship appearance out of Barry Sanders. Shohei made 0 playoff appearances in 6 seasons with the Angels

Pretty sure it had more to do with LA being closer to Japan. Does he even talk to the media ?
