Of all the inane storylines perpetuated on Twitter and the like, this is has to be the most annoying. Feels like something a kid in elementary school would come up with.

The Ohtani show was not involved in last years Playoffs and we all know the Yankees can't beat the Astros in the Postseason so that was never gonna happen.
It doesn't happen all the time, but like the Chiefs going all the way last year, and the WS being the Yankees/Dodgers this year some things are just easy to sniff out.
1919 WS only 3 of the 8 games were fixed....and that was players, not the league. This is the league and money talking, it's much more subtle and you don't need to alter all the games just one (game 1 Royals/yankees) or 2 does the trick.
How much more of the world watches when T Swift's following or Ohtani's following are involved.
Well lets just look at that.
115 million watched the Chiefs Eagles Super Bowl the previous year.
Now enter Swiftymania
An additional 10 million viewers watched Chiefs 49ers Super Bowl.
If you are selling a product and you will get 10 million additional buyers of that product. You just made a shit ton of money.
