[QUOTE="kg01, post: 957035, member: 11"] A rumor came out yesterday or the day before that the Mets allegedly almost traded Alonso to MIL this trade deadline. So you may be onto something. On Ohtani .... and I'm admittedly not super knowledgeable on baseball, so just sharing my opinion ... First, and its easy to say now, injury and fatigue are automatic concerns. Second, for him to pitch, they have to have a 6-man rotation and there will often be uncertainty with when he can actually make his scheduled start. So they're always juggling and the other starters have to deal with it. I was listening to mlbradio around the trade deadline and they discussed the pitching rotation concerns, so I'm kinda cheating there. They actually went further and said LAA would rather have Ohtani than to actually build a winner (which is why they didnt trade him). Basically because he's a cash cow. So they don't care about the impact his presence has on the rest of the team. They suggested, despite the marketing cash that comes with him, many top organizations quietly would rather not deal with it all. Funny thing is they said the Mets would probably welcome it. :) [/QUOTE]
