Is Anybody going to sign Ohtani

I did my best

This is basically the Jake Peavy saga but if all of MLB cared about it not just Cubs fans

Ironically, a song that goes "You Know" directly afterwards. Except no one knows. Except Nightengale. This is weird.

Would be wild if Jed pulls one like he did with the Counsell signing. 

Cubs beat writers haven’t said a peep about Ohtani.

Listen, if he pulls this one off, I'll go streaking.

Wait did I double up on a reference by accident because I was going for the cheap O'Reilly Auto Parts gag

EDIT:  Oh now I placed the one you're mentioning

O'Reilly Auto Parts (assuming that is what you are referring to) is headquartered in Springfield MO.  Closest MLB team is the Cardinals.  Ohtani a Cardinal confirmed.

The O'Reilly thing is definitely what I got right away, fwiw

I was thinking Oh Oh It's Magic. You know!

You did. TT, you're a savant.

I think that's more of an "oh ho ho" rather than "oh oh oh".

I was the kid who mouthed all the words and pretended to sing during the elementary school concerts so I can't be held accountable for my lack of tune.

Have a sinking feeling that Ohtani will end up being a Dodger after all. Poor Jays fans.

[almirhadzic123]

oh look at that, the Toronto news is horsefeathers. No one knows horsefeathers folks. For all we know, we're still very much in this. Why say otherwise until something concrete

[Bertz]

So Morosi's officially relegated to Nightengale status at this point, right?

My other thought besides o’reilly was the NKOTB song. Have no idea what it’s called though.

He's had a really rough offseason. He's said some really bonkers horsefeathers.

I still think it’s interesting that the big Chicago reporters haven’t said or re-tweeted anything all day. 

Levine, Mooney, Rogers, Sharma, etc.

Honestly, I'm kind of digging the fact that in this age if "instant information," no one knows anything. It's kind of comical!

Not sure if this was posted yet but hilarious

This is a really good point.

This jives with my experience with Toronto fans. You almost forget they exist until something good happens for them and then they become extremely obnoxious and over the top. Doesn’t surprise me that someone noticing a plane chartered to go from LA to Toronto would lead to rampant speculation, camping out at airports, mlb reporters getting owned with false reporting, etc
