"Mental" is an understatement

This Angels-Dodgers hypothetical Shohei Ohtani trade from ESPN is mental​

John Ireland of ESPN Los Angeles has proposed the following … and actually asked “Who says no?” in one of the most jarring pieces of content you’ll see, hear and read this year:

• Dodgers receive: SP/DH Shohei Ohtani
• Angels receive: SS Trea Turner, SP Julio Urías, SP Tony Gonsolin, SP Tyler Anderson and SP Dustin May

There is absolutely no way somebody for ESPN was allowed to ask this question.....

ESPN proposes unhinged Dodgers-Angels trade for Shohei Ohtani

Yes, the Angels are a bad team in need of a change, but this proposed Shohei Ohtani trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers is actually insane.

Ireland is a hoops heads trying to kill time on the airwaves, would be different if this was Passan or Buster Olney...

Seems negligent, still...right?
I gathered he wasn't an MLB aficionado but, he's an LA SPORTS Writer for ESPN..?
Seems like this would be frowned on.
I'm all in for fun and games, but that seems uber wreckless.

 

[アミーゴ]

Ireland is one of the nicest guys in sports I will say

Thank GOD....I don't even want to see this man in a Redsox uniform again, ever.(he's going to be good one day too)

I consider myself as traditional of a baseball fan as there is, but at this point, I dont believe a valid argument can be made against an automatic strike zone.

Ehhh, it's his take and a hypothetical offer. I'm personally not making much of it. If anything, it would've been more embarrassing if he proposed a lowball offer for baseball's unicorn.

No Sir.

No Sir.

I thought we only had like two Sox fans this entire time

DeadsetAce and that dude with a bunch of numbers in his name

No bad, no bad. Bet you Ozuna can rake tho.

But you know what I meant. Baseball is king in the PR.

So I’m hoping Bunny goes at least 2-4 with one double. I’ll be rooting for him.

Even though PR may not be known for their basketball like that they do have a National team, a basketball league (BSN), etc. The sports that are king in PR are baseball & boxing. A sport or sports could be king in a country, but that doesn't mean that everyone will excel in those sports. Yeah, I want Bad Bunny to do good but if he doesn't. I'm just happy that he was there.

Somebody here kicked me out the Redsox fan club a few years back. After that I let him cheer all by himself.

I do not recall that situation - who was it and what happened?

 

[703 hwy]

Yikes. The Reds though

 

[rolaholic]

Whoa

Good riddance.

If the clubhouse had questions then I guess that makes a lot more sense to fire Montoyo and maybe salvage the season, but in-season firings don't always work out. Phillies have been better, but the Angels after firing Maddon have been terrible.
