I don't think anyone is demonizing Ohtani for his decision to sign with the Los Angeles Angeles (spelling intentional).. It's the completely unnecessary way that he literally abused other suitors while making that choice. I'm still waiting for anyone to lay out a plausible case for the appropriateness of any term other than abuse for what he did.
Somebody mentioned a similarity to the way Alex Rodriguez acted towards the Mariners. I guess so, the way a an old-fashioned Sunday drive is similar to a two week driving vacation.
Oh well, sometimes you're the dumper, and sometimes you're the dumpee. What goes around comes around, unless, it seems, you are the Seattle Mariners.
Hey, we get to play against Royalty tonight. I've enjoyed the daytime start times and CST locales so far that allow me to watch the games at a reasonable hour here in Spurs-land.
