1. WooHoo, this Giants fan is thrilled

I have enough on my plate just following the National League West division so I'll see him play often.

I will be a white knuckle viewer when Shohei Ohtani climbs the mound against my Giants, but I'm always a white knuckler when we play the Dodgers.

For me, it's gonna be GREAT!

2. You'll have to wait a while to see him pitch.

since he probably won’t pitch next year at all. But he’s still a formidable hitter!

3. I thought for sure he'd sign with The Guardians

5. So the Dodgers are paying $700 mill for a pitcher who won't pitch next year and maybe longer ...

... and will have had two arm surgeries by 2025. As a Giants fan, I'm snickering.

(And yes, I'd have expressed that concern if the Giants signed him ... without the snicker.)
