Josh Reddick forced to eat his take on Yoshinobu Yamamoto (but still won't apologize)

Yoshinobu Yamamoto's heroic, almost inhuman effort in the postseason allowed Dodgers fans to gleefully pull out receipts on anyone who clowned on LA when they initially signed him to a 12-year, $325 million deal, the most lucrative contract for a pitcher.

A lot of people were very loud and wrong about Yamamoto, but the person to get the most heat for his take was former player Josh Reddick, who tweeted in Dec. 2023: "How do you give a guy $325 million without ever throwing a pitch in MLB."

After Yamamoto consecutive complete postseson games, then followed them with six one-run innings, and then closed Game 7 of the World Series, Dodgers fans were tweeting (or subtweeting) at Reddick so much that he briefly made his Twitter private.
