Ohtani Thread - Special Sheriff's Edition (Update: confirmed going to the Dodgers)

[FantasyNewb]

there is one report that someone ignoring, the one that said he is not in toronto, but in LA where he is going through a 2 day extensive physical . I will try to find it and link it

 

That was a parody account.

[Daniel Labude]

It would have the chances of being ugly but probably wouldn't be the "biggest puke contract in history".

 

I'm not advocating for this or anything, just stating what I read. I don't believe for a second that Bo will re-sign. He's going to FA

Super regression in store at some point unless he fixes these

Dodgers Nation is doubling down on their report that Ohtani is signing with the Blue Jays. They claim they have multiple sources who verify this to be true.

 

What’s going on? Has Ohtani decided or hasn’t he?

According to multiple sources who spoke with Dodgers Nation on Friday, Ohtani’s decision is still in. The Dodgers do not expect to sign him. The Toronto Blue Jays do.

 

Wait, why isn’t Ohtani to Toronto a done deal?

The time between a free agent making his decision and the time his contract becomes official is not instantaneous. After agreeing to terms, passing a physical, putting pen to paper, submitting the contract to MLB, and having the contract approved by the league, only then does a contract between a player and a team become official. That process hasn’t played out with Ohtani. It can’t begin, of course, until he decides on a team.

 

Dodgers Nation believes its sources are correct. Some details of our initial story have been verified independently by additional sources since it first published. We can’t comment on the veracity of anyone else’s sources; that’s not our job. We haven’t been able to confirm precisely when Ohtani will announce his decision – initially we reported it would be no earlier than Friday – but we anticipate him and the Blue Jays revealing their agreement at some point.

Apparently this guy had the Soto trade along with the majority of the signings first

And others. His record is pretty good.

[BaseballIsLife]

Morosi’s unreliable. Davidi’s not insightful and kind of a weasel.

Moccbomb and JP Hoornstra have a good track record. Hope is still there!

[Eat My Shatkins]

Watch these sources all be correct, but then something shows up in Ohtani's physical that makes it all fall apart.

[Marew]

Thanks Moc. I never thought for a second it wasn’t a sure thing. Good riddance beau and vald

[GoBlue41]

I think the Hookers have been on standby for so long that they snorted all the blow and now it's about to get really crazy!!

Oh god I hope its true.

 

This will be the biggest upset ever if it turns out he just signs with the Dodgers

Unless there is a colossal f up over some unexpected issue Ohtani will be a Jay. Its a Rogers Exec led push as a conglomerate media company. We benefit.

Hookers and Blow are back on the menu boys and gals!!

At the end of the day, Ohtani is 1 person and he gets the final decision.

 

If he wants to play for a “winner” than the Dodgers make the most sense.

[Daniel Labude]

Sasaki wants to be posted...package deal?

We're not the Orioles.

[RobinThicc]

And hes a Dodger. Damn

[jaysguy44]

Shohei Ohtani's deal with the Dodgers is for 10 years and $700 million.

[glory]

Kick to the dick of Jays fans, also confirmed.

Yikes as usual the jays finish second ugh. Always the dodgers, Yankees , Sox

[Jimcanuck]

How come we can never have nice things

[max silver]

10 years, $700 million, per Passan.

 

Holy s***.

 

At least the offseason can begin in earnest now. It's certainly going to be a kick in the nuts to be signing lesser lights like Chapman but such is life.

[Daniel Labude]

Just amazing bad contract lmao. So glad Jays didn't do that

[Omar]

Well....I....uhm......I will have to live with it...I guess.....can't talk right now.

 

[philly30]

It is not like the team Ohtani is on is guaranteed of winning anything, the money can be spent elsewhere

[thatoneguy]

lol this team is cursed

[DigitalRock]

Honestly though at 700 mill the Jays probably dodge a bullet
