4X NBA All-Star Joins ?Poverty Franchise? Debate as Mets Fail to Sign Shohei Ohtani Despite $216,000,000 Sale of Top Aces

Donovan Mitchell Trolls Mets for Shohei Ohtani Deal Failure

Shohei Ohtani has been the talk of the town since rumors of him joining the Mets floated. But the move never materialized, and the focus shifted to the deadline moves by the Mets selling their aces.

He then quoted and added to his observation the comments from ex-Mets Scherzer.
