UPDATE<\/p>\n
2:53 PM<\/strong> — TMZ Sports<\/strong> spoke with Ike about his big pitch to Shohei Ohtani<\/strong> … and while he hasn’t heard from the athlete just yet, he said he’s been getting a ton of positive feedback from Giants fans for his efforts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ike says if he really does sign with S.F., he’s fully willing to change EVERY Ike’s location in America in honor of the Shohei … which he estimates would cost him around $500k, but would be totally worth it.<\/p>\n Ike also spoke more about Kevin Durant<\/strong>‘s current status with his chain … and he said the Phoenix Suns hooper STILL gets free sandwiches to this day even though he no longer plays for the Warriors — so keep that in mind, Shohei!!<\/p>\n San Francisco fans are desperate to get Shohei Ohtani to sign with their beloved team … with one supporter going as far as offering the MLB superstar free sandwiches for life AND a complete rebranding of his shop if he joins the Giants in free agency!!<\/p>\n Ike Shehadeh<\/strong> — diehard Giants fan and founder of the Ike’s Love & Sandwiches chain — laid out his terms in a social media post this week … saying if the two-time MVP ditches the Los Angeles Angels for S.F. this offseason, he’ll hook him up with unlimited grub and his own signature menu item.<\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n Ike — who made similar offers to guys like Kevin Durant and Aaron Judge<\/strong> in the past — took it one step further for the Japanese sensation … saying he will also change the naming rights of his establishment to “Shohei’s Love & Sandwiches” if he takes his talents to the Bay Area.<\/p>\n The sandwich guru even started the brainstorming process on what Ohtani’s own item would look like … taking inspiration from the Giants’ orange and black colors to create a tasty steak and barbeque combo.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Giants are among the possible realistic landing spots for Ohtani … with the Dodgers, Mets, Cubs, Rangers and pretty much any other team that can afford him expected to enter the race.<\/p>\n Ohtani is reportedly slated to get at least half a billion dollars with his new deal, so he may not be worried too much about the sandwich offer … but hey, ya can’t knock the dude for trying!!<\/p>\n
