Bold article
Most reports say it's not 100% done
But there is a private jet traveling from Anaheim to Toronto a lot of people have their eye on apparently..
If this is true, i'm changing cell phone providers immediately.
Someone's gotta pay for that contract and it ain't gonna be Mr. Rogers lol

Just don't go with Bell. Because you'll still be paying for that contract.
Probably just gonna use my work phone for personal use lol.
Already paying way too much, I can’t imagine after an Ohtani tax

It's f***ing Hossa all over again. I expect he'll be a Dodger by nightfall. 
The Jays have got a few good ones - but never an elite player. The Habs have never, in my life that I recall. The Raptors won the championship and couldn't even resign Kawhi. The Eagles have mostly built through trades or the draft. And Wolves are too low in the Premier League to draw legitimate interest.
I can't remember one of my favourite teams EVER getting a free agent like this.... so I fully expect it not to happen.

Imagine the plane from Anaheim to Toronto is Pat Verbeek on his way to visit his old friend and teammate Shanahan.

I was a huge Expos fan and after they left,I completely lost interest in baseball. It's only been over the past couple of years, that I started following the majors again. I don't mind the Blue Jays at all and follow them and the Yankees casually and would like to see the only Canadian team do well and get a star player. I also casually follow the Raptors.Different sports and still and always will have an excessive hatred of the Leafs. lol

There is more Expos merchandise being worn than when the team was active. I also stopped watching baseball as closely since they left.
Couldn’t stomach what the Blue Jays did when they voted to contract the Expos and when they went behind their backs to rob the Expos of their Canada wide broadcasting rights that they had grandfathered before the Jays even existed. But, that’s ancient history.
I understand that the play for Rogers is to recoup some of the money paid to Ohtani by, among other options, selling off broadcast rights to their games in Japan. Interesting to see if it pans out but usually, in this type of context, Ohtani may just be using the Jays to up his ante elsewhere.
Expos fans should cheer for the Orioles. They were the only team to vote against moving the Expos. I cheerrd for the Orioles before 1969 - Palmer, Dobson, McNally, Cuellar, Boog, Brooks, Frank.
