Once somebody draws all the hype, I lose interest. I prefer the more classic baseball stars like Arizona's Corbin Carroll and San Diego's Fernando Tatis Jr. These guys sparked my imagination when I first saw them play, and I'm eager to follow their careers as far as they will take me. Sure hope they stay with the teams that are elevating them
Ohtani and Judge are making baseball much more interesting again. Unfortunately, the money being charged for tickets are making it unreachable for many lower income families. All this, so the billionaire owners can get even richer and pay more outlandish sums to even mediocre players (all with paying practically no taxes whatsoever).
I'm not saying Ohtani is not worth every penny he gets, but how can a player get so rich he doesn't even notice when his interpreter is ripping him off for untold tens of millions of dollars?

But for Cal Raleigh's lack of an etched physique and his being branded with a dubious nickname, this column would have had to take a different tack.
What Dumper just did plus what he contributed as a daily catcher puts him over Judge.
