The Dodgers' owner is not very bright. If he didn't want Ohtani to pitch, he could have contracted with him for $400 million for 10 years and saved $300 million. Apparently, he either didn't know what he was doing or tricked Shohei into coming to play for the Dodgers, making him believe he would be a two-way player for $700 million. In either case, the owner's integrity does not reflect well. We want to see Shohei Ohtani play as a two-way player for at least three more years! That is what his appeal to the fans was all about.

Kinda like the Babe. He did both until later in his career, where he just became a pure slugger!
