Now that we have established that the reason the Mets didn’t sign Ohtani is because Ohtani/agents didn’t call Steve, I guess Rylan Bannon did. That was smart, as Steve is apparently sitting around waiting for free agents to call HIM, rather than hiring some sort of General Manager to make outbound calls.
Anyway, this is a big signing and shows the Mets are not messing around this off-season. The Wilpons would never have made a move like this one.
