We are LONG gone from the days of it being a game where most players were normal folks that happened to be talented at baseball. That held jobs in the offseason. The more they are paid, the more these athletes are put on a pedestal, the further we get away from the soul of the game.

It's hard to see how Ohtani can possibly live up to the expectations implied by his contract, although I'd love for him to try to get close. I just hope he doesn't become of those guys who stops running out ground balls, makes it rain at the strip clubs, and starts dating a reality TV star.

I don't think they're paying for the baseball player so much as the phenomenon.
