Most fans are hoping their team will sign Shohei Ohtani in MLB free agency. Atlanta Braves fans hopes were hit with a blow on Friday, as Braves writer David O'Brien of The Athletic got brutally honest on Atlanta's chances of signing Ohtani.
“He ain't coming to the Braves,” O'Brien said on Foul Territory.
O'Brien also gave the Braves a “zero” percent chance of landing Ohtani. He explained the reasoning for his belief later in the segment.
“Realistically, what's Ohtani going to get (paid),” O'Brien continued. “Even with the TJ (Tommy John) surgery, he's gonna get less money than he would've if he was healthy… it's going to be well over $40 (million).
