I will legitimately be shocked if he chooses anywhere other than the Dodgers.

I’ve waited too long for a signing. Heading to the gym. Knowing my luck, expect an Ohtani signing within the next 2-3 hours.
You’re welcome.

I was more glued to the Draft Lottery in 2016. I literally jumped for joy that the leafs did not get screwed out of the #1.

Interesting deal given the 2 teams. Fitts threw a lot of innings this year for a minor leaguer with solid results in AA. Weissert has really solid K numbers for a reliever and has some MLB time with mixed results. Judice just drafted with no milb numbers. Verdugo is meh, besides for the obvious potential Soto implications.

I read this as a leak from Ohtani’s camp. Jays offer is the best, Ohtani wants to go to LA so they leak this to get LA’s offer up.
This is like Kawhi. The 2 LA teams and Toronto

That's a decent return for Verdugo. He's a ~2 WAR player with one year left and he's going to make around $9 million. There's not much value there.

To me the signing of Ohtani is a no brainer at what ever cost for the Jays and ownership. It’s profit for the organization anyway you look at it:
1. Signing with which ever team means Japan networks will purchase the rights to be able to televise every game that team plays. Money to be made for signing team.
2. Japan businesses will sponsor the team up the wazoo where ever Ohtani signs. Billboards in stadium. Commercials and advertisements.
3. Team merch sales will get a huge boost.
The contract pays for itself. That all being said. If Toronto has to outbid the American teams so be it. Give him 600 million over 10 yrs with opt outs for him and Jays at certain points in deal. Instead of 500 million. I think he would take 60 million a season over 50 million.

Passan:
Could find out towards the end of the week
Likely early next week
Talking around or at least $550M
Is LAD or SF? Angels in the mix. The interesting team lurking is the blue jays. They want him but it’s the same question other teams are asking “does he want us!?!?”
Yoshinobu Yamamoto price tag could hit $300 million
The original estimate for Yamamoto, who’s only 25, was $200 million.

Japanese starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto may be the most popular free agent ever — at least among big-market clubs — and that’s why execs are predicting he may cost the signing team as much as $300 million, including the posting fee.
The original estimate for Yamamoto, who’s only 25, was $200 million. But in addition to the Mets and Yankees, who both seem hopeful, the Dodgers, Giants, Cubs, Cardinals, Red Sox, Phillies, Diamondbacks and Tigers all are linked to Yamamoto.
The lobby scuttlebutt suggests the Mets and Giants have a solid chance. But the Yankees (and others) seem to have faith, too.
The Shohei Ohtani and Yamamoto derbies are holding up markets. Not their fault.

That timeline just sucks.
I can't see the back up plans waiting until then and if we don't get him and the back-up plans are off the board is gonna suck.

I feel with every other report coming out, the Jays are more than just a team lurking at this point
Tbh Toronto and LA aren't as lopsided as it is in NBA where LA is way more preferred as a destination since there are no Canadian winters during the baseball season and the top players aren't from the US - this is probably a very tough decision for Ohtani much more than he might've originally thought
