How Does The Shohei Ohtani Mega-Deal Affect The Philadelphia Phillies?
12/13/23 • 28 min
In today's episode, Connor breaks down the Shohei Ohtani signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Philadelphia Phillies' perspective. First, what are the numbers of the deal, and what does it change for the Phillies when it comes to their contention in a top-heavy National League? Next, with the amount of deferred money in the deal, is Ohtani set to become baseball's newest villain as the Dodgers seem poised to take over baseball? Finally, what does this mean for the Phillies' championship window? Could it really have closed from this one move?
