MLB Fans Crushed Alex Rodriguez for His Laughably Bad (and Illegal!) Shohei Ohtani Trade Proposal

Alex Rodriguez has never been one to shy way from showing people that he’s not the smartest guy in the world and that continued this week when he brought up a possible trade proposal for the Angels involving their all-world star player, Shohei Ohtani. 

While appearing on Bret Boone’s podcast this week, Rodriguez suggested the Angels trade away Ohtani and load up on draft picks in the deal so they can build up their farm system.

There’s only one problem: Major League Baseball doesn’t allow draft picks to get traded. 

Here’s what Rodriguez said: 

“I think here’s the thought that I would think about, if I was the Angels, I would want to get a bunch of draft picks, I want to load up my farm system. If I’m the Angels, I’m saying, okay, you’re gonna take Ohtani, but I also want to give you some of my bad contracts. So, if I can unload a few, or one big one, and take that off the books, plus refurnish my minor league system, get some draft picks and get maybe a piece or two? Now you got something.”

Now you got something... that just isn’t allowed. 

MLB fans ripped Rodriguez:
