I mean, they aren't the White Sox either though. Subbing Ohtani for the mix of Turner/kirk/Springer we've gotten in the DH spot would absolutely have been a huge improvement. This team has lost a lot of close games, and even just the 30+ extra homers from the DH slot alone are probably good for like 5 extra wins. Add the steals, the rest of his hits, and giving some protection to Vladdy and I think they'd have the 7 extra wins they'd need to be tied for the last wild card spot.
