Instead of trying hard to get the Japanese star, Shohei Ohtani, the Twins are wisely trading their international bonus allocations (the only money they are allowed to offer international stars) to teams like the Mariners for their other major league prospects.
Yesterday, they bought the rights to a young Seattle catching prospect with a million dollars of that monopoly money that Seattle thinks they need to land Ohtani.
AND they are still in the running for this new Babe Ruth.
Smart.
I thought the Angels got him.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they did. I heard he was expected to, but no deal was done. They signed him Friday.
