Not new, but the Dodgers have spent over a billion dollars on Ohtani and Yamamoto from Japan, but in a move which would make Todd Boehly blush, they have deferred almost all of Ohtani's $700m deal
Ohtani was at one point tipped to go to the Blue Jays, it was between them and the Dodgers.
Are you a baseball fan? If so who do you follow?
My mate got me into it, he's a massive fan, we went to one of the games at West Ham in the summer, so I follow the Cardinals, not good for us this year...

Until April this year, Baseball never interested me. I’ve been to the U.S. and Canada numerous times and never thought of going. We went to Toronto in April and my eldest son asked about going. I watched on tv the night before and got into it, then went to see the Blue Jays (lose) against Detroit, but I was hooked. I went to New York to see them against the Mets in June.
Hoping to go in August to see them against the Chicago Cubs.

Beautiful specimen indeed but max kepler edges it for me, two extraordinary examples of human beauty though for sure.
