Many fans drive down just to see him. I know it’s a business and the objective is to sell tickets off players… Nevin also covers himself effectively (“I did say he’s day to day.”)
But saying things like “oh but he could pinch hit” a few days ago, when Ohtani only started light running 2 days ago & picked up a bat yesterday… seems too obvious
Anyway Nevin’s prob just taking orders from FO to make things intentionally vague…
