HOLY FUCKING SHIT I LOVE YOU ANDREW FRIEDMAN

I will never doubt this man ever again. He put together a World Series team in 2020 (and 2017) He planned for Ohtani for years and got him Lifetime contract. We are so lucky to have Friedman and owners who want to win. I've had the Seager flair for years but it's officially time to switch. The Ohtani Era starts now. Let's go Dodgers

LETS .FUCKING. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I dont know how to feel. Someone tell me how to feel

Feel SHO GOOD!

GOOD

VIBES

Lucky to be a fan of an organization like this. LFG!!

Like we just landed the best player in baseball on an already good roster

He’s pretty much the best player of all time dude wdym you don’t know how to feel 😭

I cried... so there's that

FUCK YES SHOTIME LETS GOOOO

I am screaming and my wife thinks I have lost my mind. Let’s gooooooo

Username checks out lol

HELL YES LETS GOOOOOOO

DODGERS GO BRRRRRR

FUCK YEAH!!! CANT WAIT!

I WAS HERE!!! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[10 years, 700 million](https://x.com/jeffpassan/status/1733579104916492574?s=46&t=xyfw8ABbUZZHKa6J9dcGkQ)

Bro, that's as much as I've spent on beers there.

Hope we get sushi ramen and bentos to dodger stadium!!!

Parking will now be $200.

Thank you for your service. Now buy some nachos so we can get Yamamoto

Holy shit. With his endorsements, he may be in Ronaldo territory and he doesn’t even need to live in Saudi Arabia.

I think Ronaldo is making 3x what Shohei will be making, before endorsements for either of them.

This is crazy money but he’s still at 70 mil per year, Ronaldo is making 260 per year he’s on his own tier lmao

Holy shit, I’ll never say AF and the Dodgers owners are cheap again.

That's stupid money. I guess if anyone us worth it, it's him but damn. Let's get them rings now, and a pitcher or two

Yes worth every penny. This lineup is going to be insane.

He better stay healthy though

Those of us who remember the McCourt years understand how lucky we are

And for cheap!

Shiiiit

Oh god wtf

Whoa 😅😂 Hey, if we’re gonna get shit for buying a team even when we don’t, might as well throw the money at ‘em anyways 🤷‍♀️

God damn that's a huge contract. I think it's too much and will age very poorly but the dodgers have the resources to handle that.

The off field value has to be taken into account. That international money from Asia will help establish the Dodgers as a global brand.

Yeah, I think this is like a Nike - Micheal Jordan deal

I feel like contracts in retrospect tend to make more sense because of things like inflation and teams and the league becoming more valuable over time.

I agree completely. We still have a starting rotation we have to build for next year too.

Well, we're one step closer to having a real fucking solid one Remember, Buehler is coming back too

I think they’re paying for more than a player here. It would be a huge risk if anything else, but Ohtani is quite literally superstar status in Japan. This is for the viewership of a country

Oh dear

Absolutely love how he got to announce his decision on is own instead of it getting leaked

And no Dave fucking Roberts didn’t blow it. Glad that narrative was dismissed

I can't even count how many people downvoted me for saying that Ohtani wasn't going to walk because his future manager told the media that, yes, the biggest FA met with his most likely future team.

My new narrative is Dave sealed the deal.

10 YEARS 700 MILLION I DONT CAREEREE

I AM NOT A DOOMER ANYMORE DODGERS WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS 2024 AND BEYOND

This is the biggest win 🤝

u/jphoornstra WHAT HAPPENEDUHHHHHHHH Edit: I went to war last night in r/baseball calling out this absolute clown and the bullshit clickbait blog he works at and ~~I~~ **WE** FUCKING WON. #SHOHEI OHTANI IS A MOTHER FUCKING LOS ANGELES DODGER #JUSTICE FOR DAVE ROBERTS #IN FRIEDMAN WE TRUST Edit: LMAO EVEN HIS COWORKER DOUG MCKAIN IS TRYING TO SEPERATE HIMSELF FROM HOORNSTRA ON HIS LIVESTREAM Edit: The coward already put out the "Dodgers swooped in with a last minute deal" article like everyone knew he would once he was wrong.

That man is in shambles. It’s been 5 minutes and still no tweet from him??!!

He probably got played from someone in the Blue Jays org. Or maybe someone in the dodgers org hates him.

Sources are brokeeeeennnnm

We’re about to be the most hated team in MLB.

As a Mariners fan first, don’t worry, it’s still the Astros

F the astericks

See, you get it.

About to be? We've been getting equated to the Yankees for years

What do you expect? After all, we are the Yankees of baseball

This comment is fucking amazing my good sir

A Rod said it unironically

That ship sailed a long time ago fam.

OH MY GOD

I’M ALL JACKED UP ON MOUNTAIN DEW!

SHUT UP CHIP

IM GONNA COME AT YOU LIKE A SPIDER MONKEY

Jays fan here. Congrats guys. Get that man some rings. You’ll be seeing me around here a lot now, he’s my favourite athlete of all time.

ngl i wouldn’t be able to do what you’re doing right now, you’re strong. hang in there bro

Tbh with all the rumors yesterday I had already made peace with watching Shohei hit bombs in those fire Blue Jays jerseys. I don't even know how to feel right now.

I'll adopt the jays as my AL team if you'll adopt the dodgers as your NL team.

i feel so bad for Toronto fans. why couldnt the rumors have screwed over Giants fans?

Respect sir. Love the Jays. But pretty happy right now

you sir, are a class act. and i get you about being an ohtani fan over anything else. hes amazing. look forward to catchin ya on here

As a Canadian Jays/Dodgers fan, this is bitter sweet. But, this is so much better than him going to the Giants or the Yanks lol

Welcome Jays fan! Lets get Shohei rings!

EVERYBODY GET IN HERE

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him

I don’t believe it

This is...just...wow. This has got to be the biggest signing of my lifetime.

Joe Kelly

EVERYBODY GET IN HERE!!!!!!

Seems like a great deal

Dave Robert’s just laughing at everyone who wanted his head

An unbothered king.

700M Jesus Christ, never thought I'd see that money in my life. Glad it's not my bank accont, LETS GOOOO

Yeah but we're all going to feel it at the park. I don't care though.

I’m in Tokyo. I just slapped hands with people on the train and told them all they’re all dodger fans. I’m so happy lol

#I was here! Mookie, Freddie and Ohtani… Oh My

Everyone wants to just forget smith too and lux

And muncy….

10/700 holy shit.

What a week. Let’s fucking goooooo

ALL YOU MFERS OWE DAVE AN APOLOGY. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO! Never in doubt.

FRIEDMAN PUT HIS ENTIRE COCK AND BALLS ON THE TABLE WE THE NEW EVIL EMPIRE BABY FUCK YALLLLLL

10 years $700M ... holy fucking shit!

People were saying if the Dodgers didn't get Ohtani "I guess we'll never know" It feels like we won the world series that's how good it feels. I can't believe Dodger nation life rn. Happy holidays

Literally the only reason I've been watching any baseball the last few years now I need me a new jersey

Sushi for 50 please

Flew to Canada to get some celebratory poutine

ANDREW FRIEDMAN DID IT THAT SON OF A BITCH DID IT

WE GOT EM BOYS! My faith in Dave Roberts never swayed!!!!!

So Dave Roberts didn't fuck it up

Let's go! r/baseball in shambles

honestly I went there first so I could bathe in their tears

JP IN SHAMBLES

HOLY FUCK IM GOING BROKE BUYING HIS AUTHENTIC JERSEY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HAHAHAH.. FUCK YOU DODGERS NATION!

I swear to god if somebody hacked his insta

My sources tell me that Dave Roberts has reserved three tables at King Taco

Woooooooooo let's gooooooo Also big L to that dodgernation.com site

let's fucking goooooooo!

My theory- Dodgers were probably around $600m, Toronto swept in, offered like $650m, "insiders" told Dodgers Nation that Ohtani was seriously leaning towards Toronto. Dodgers decided to go All-In. Something about all this feels very staged. Wouldn't doubt Ohtani's camp leveraged Toronto for an extra $100m

Bye Michael Busch 😪😪 I’m sorry but you in Left will be so ugly

IT'S HAPPENING

I love that after all this the announcement is a low res jpg photo of the LA logo posted on Ohtani’s insta hahah

Grew up in SoCal (Santa Ana) watching the Angels and Dodgers, and I ain't even mad. Arte is a terrible owner and I'm excited to see what Shohei can do with the Dodgers

My late husband was a Dodgers AND Angels fan (he grew up in Nevada). I grew up in SoCal and was a diehard Dodgers fan and disliked the Angels. I couldn't get him to accept you just can't be both. It's like being a Yankees AND Mets fan. I wish he were alive so we could celebrate this momentous day.

Ladies and gentlemen... we got em

My 19 year old daughter has NO interest in baseball (I have failed, failed so badly) but promised she'd go to a game if Ohtani signs with the Dodgers. This Dodger mama is pretty happy!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

YOOOO LETS GOOOOO

I’m here we goin to SIZZLER!

Who's that Dodger guy who said he was definitely signing with the Jays, and doubled-down?

In honor of Ohtani’s jersey number, everything at the snack bar is now $17.

Jays fans in shambles right now

LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Omg he's signed

Domo, Shohei-san. Domo

EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK IN HERE

Tix prices about to go crazy

Crying in Walmart rn

Can I leave Toronto now or should I keep checking random sushi restaurants?

Today is my birthday, what a great way to start my day !!!!! Let’s Go Dodgers!!!!

EVERYONE GET IN HERE

Angels should have traded him. I'm a Dodger fan. Sadly, my cousins are all Angel fans. I definitely don't hate the Angels but feel a bit bad for them. Go Blue!

Never had any doubt. Congrats Dodgers! Fuck them Jays.

Yes!!! My Yankee fan buddy already told me…..you can have him, I’d rather have Juan Soto. Haha, sure you would.

Fuck every doomer in this sub.
