No offense taken, it's just opinions, but I think where we differ is you're assuming it's a safe bet Ohtani will keep producing at his current pace in both positions and I think that's a significant risk. I am not trading away arguably the best position player in baseball, who btw is years younger than Ohtani, for that risk. No thank you.
