San Diego Padres: Josh Hader talks trade rumors, Blake Snell skills and Shohei Ohtani sales pitch

Should this be the pitch for the San Diego Padres to Shohei Ohtani?

It's well known that Shohei Ohtani will likely be a free agent at the end of the season (provided he isn't traded at the trade deadline in a stunning development). There has been talk that the Padres could be a potential landing spot for the Japanese superstar. If that's the case, how would Hader suggest the Padres tell Ohtani why San Diego should be his next MLB home?

"It's San Diego. I mean, do you really need much more than that?" Hader asked. "If you've ever been in San Diego, you know how beautiful it is. It's a fun team. We've got a lot of great guys for long term, so he's a guy that they probably want to lock up for a long-term deal as well, as long as they can find a billion dollars somewhere."

There's no doubt that every team would love to have Ohtani as a part of its roster, and the Padres will likely be competing with their rivals up Interstate 5 (the Los Angeles Dodgers) for his services. While both locations have plenty of scenery and talent on the MLB roster, it may take that billion dollars (hey, it's possible) as much as a great location and a commitment to winning for Ohtani to select his new home.
