Is it time to short Ohtani?
 
Ok, so I'm probably going to look stupid in a week or two. But here it goes. I think Ohtani is done. He just published a children's book starring his pet dog. In the middle of the season. Yes, it was co-authored, which means that some other dude wrote the book, but still. Yes, the gamblers still have Ohtani as the favorite to win the NL MVP. But I think he's toast. He's going to suck for the rest of the year.

Let's go Mets!!!!!

Yes, couldn't agree more. Ohtani sucks at baseball now and his career is over because of a childrens book and Soto is trash because of the first few weeks of a 15 year contract. The hottest take is surely reasonable and sensible.

The book was probably written in the offseason and timed to be published during the season when the publicity of him playing would be highest.

Ohtani homered in his 5th straight game today.

Props for the P.D. Eastman reference Frank.

No one has ever had two Tommy John surgeries, then added to their burden by writing a kids' book. The OP may be onto something.

Ohtani is everywhere. He heard me giving him crap about his book and then busted my ass.
