I think what the real topic was - what would it take to trade for Ohtani?

That makes a lot more sense.

Probably.

And that's not a trade AA would ever make. Cause we're not signing anyone to a $40mill _+ per year contract.

But even if we money were no object, it’s a stupid trade anyway because we have the best team in baseball and it makes us worse this year. And the only reason to even entertain it is if you KNOW Ohtani would definitely re-sign with us. And if we knew he wanted to be in Atlanta so bad that he’d agree to that before even playing for us, why not wait to sign him until after the season and keep all our guys?

That’s why I don’t think he’ll get moved. No team would give away the assets or would take to get him without knowing he’s sign with them. And if they know that, why not just wait a few months?
