D-backs fans were certainly not thrilled to see the best player in baseball sign with their biggest rival, just more than a month after Arizona made it to the World Series and swept LA in the first round on their way there.
The worst possible case scenario just happened to the Dbacks. They still must counter this move further by adding more power bats to their line-up!

There is also a mind-blowing stat with this deal that involves the D-backs owner.
Folks
Shohei Ohtani is now richer than 3 MLB primary owners: #Reds Bob Castellini ($430m)#Dbacks Ken Kendrick ($600m) #Marlins Bruce Sherman ($500m)
And tied with the #Brewers owner Mark Attanasio & #Rockies Richard Monfort
Unbelievable.

Now, D-backs fans will become very familiar with and have to deal with the two-time AL MVP in the division for presumably the next 10 years.
