He can say whatever he wants and give any reasons for choosing the Dodgers - now that he has a ridiculous contract for someone who has never pitched in the ML . Be interesting to know IF he would have signed with the Dodgers had they not matched Uncle Stevie's offer. Would he still have gone with the Dodger record? We know the main reason the Dodgers could make that offer was the deferred money in Ohtani's contract. Time to look forward and not dwell on what might have been.
