There should be an out clause at six years or something. Nobody can have it all.

It will likely be either one of the most amazing deals in baseball or the worst……definitely a high degree of risk here.
He’s gotta make a decision soon, too many pieces will start to move and the jays hanging in in Ohtani only to lose out the dodgers is one thing, but if it costs them other players or moves that’s a double whammy.
