Shohei Ohtani’s MLB/Japan Takeover: From Demon Slayer to Fortnite! 2025 Tokyo Series week away!

Today’s word of the day is ’icon’ as in Shohei Ohtani as in Dodgers as in MLB as in Fortnite as in Demon Slayer. What!? Ohtani is ready to takeover Japan again. But this feels so much bigger. Let’s discuss this series for MLB and the activation of promotion that MLB has done there. Vladdy Jr wants $500 million. No deferrals. That was his last offer to the Blue Jays. Brian Cashman said exactly what we said! The Yankees will not spend right now on a new starter. Not going to happen. Review: The Search for Instagram’s Worst Con Artist. The great Junior Bridgeman died yesterday. What a legacy he leaves behind. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the new MLB Overlap hats from New Era. Who approved them!? NBA to NIL is the new way. Steph Curry and Davidson. James Harden and Arizona State. Russell Westbrook and UCLA? NPPOD.
