I'm absolutely shocked and thrilled if he actually does this man..

If Vladdy gets his head out of his ass
And that MLB best pitching staff doesn't fall off too hard next year..

Watch the f*** out man!!

 

[_habsfan9]

can’t trust someone who is a habs fan who cheers for a toronto sports team

very odd dynamic

i grew up in northern ontario. My first year was watching sports was 93 at age 5. that year Patrick Roy turned me into a Habs fan and the jays were the powerhouse and always on TV a stacked team. The rest was history.... not that odd of a dynamic. And the leafs to this day are the most hated team of any sport for me.

makes as much sense as an arsenal fan supporting the san antonio spurs

Pretty lame I gotta say bud

why? I’m a fan of another team why would i want them to succeed lol

Lol I "suppose" that's different then

It's his 2nd UCL injury in 5 years.. he incredibly came back from the first one still able to throw 100 mph

For this 2nd one they say he used a new method of repair by the doctors so I'm hoping he doesn't fall off too much

Fan of other teams or not, every person who's a fan of Sport should want this man to return to the superhuman form that he was at

If it wasn't for the injury in August, he probably wins Cy Young on top of the MVP he just won playing 80% of the year

My dad loved the habs as a french Canadian so that was easy for me, the jays were more fun at the time but I definitely rooted on the expos too. It's annoying to have to share common interests with leaf fans though I'll give you that

 

[sampollock]

this guy is breaking news faster then the top MLB insiders. so we see Go Yanks

 

[HuGort]

Wow , Shohei Ohtani signs with the Blue Jays?
Tickets will be in high demand ...

Knock me over if true

 

[Runner77]

Clearly, they can afford him with or without the NHL TV deal expiring. They’d be monetizing his addition to death, all part of the equation:

big signing for sure we see.. at least he is not wearing a red sox jersey.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Some dude just tweeted that Ohtani isn't in Toronto, but rather SoCal.

I was hoping Toronto would get him so they wouldn't try to renew their hockey rights because they f***ing suck at hockey.

No press conference at 6pm.

No press conference at 6pm.

there's one at Saputo stadium. Joey signed him!!!

 

[dinodebino]

The title should be changed to a rumour. He hasn’t made a choice yet. It’s all about Taranna media going nuts as usual.

 

[Habaneros]

1 hour ago MLB Network Jon Morosi says Othani is on the way in a plane to Toronto....
Toronto BlueJays team reporter Ben Nicholson Smith hearing Othani is not on his way....still in California

.hmmmm

I figured it wasn't true. I think he signs back with Anaheim

 

[Team_Spirit]

 

[MarkJ]

if he thinks he's gonna be invisible...in TORONTO...

 

[Sheppy]

It doesn't help that Sportsnet is re-tweeting these things, lol.

 

[_habsfan9]

now there is conflicting reports, hahaha what a circus its just like kawhi leonard

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

i suck i have no idea who this is

I just know the name.

I'm pretty sure whatever team first signed him had to pay 50 mill just to talk to him.
