Ohtani to Dodgers for an ungodly amount of money

Someone tweeted a photo of Robert Herjavec (Shark Tank) walking off the plane that was supposed to be carrying Ohtani. Obviously could be one of the numerous fake things reported today but pretty funny if true

Edit: someone at the CBC is also reporting this.

I saw Ohtani eating a corn dog  at the gas station I just stopped at right now. He dipped it in mustard.

Ok now that is just hilarious.

I guess maybe Robert is having sushi for dinner tonight.

This jives with my experience with Toronto fans. You almost forget they exist until someone good happens for them and then they become extremely obnoxious and over the top.

So just like literally every single fanbase?

Now there’s a depressing-ass city.

Yes except for the forget they exist part.  They come out of nowhere

For once, I can't take credit for messing with a thread title.

Alas.

What position does Herjavec play?

[ToolDRT]

Ive been rather bored and annoyed with how little has happened this offseason. But this…this totally redeems it! 🤣🤣🤣

[Hunter]

Wonder if Herjavec even knew what was going on by the time he landed.

[Jason Ross]

Yeah, I don't think anyone can whine and complain that the Ohtani signing wasn't a spectacle and a showcase for the sport any more.

[CubbyBlue2008]

Gotta say this is one of the more wild days I’ve seen for a singular free agent.

[Outshined_One]

Did anyone actually work today?

It's a Friday in December, so I doubt it, but this is one of the dumbest and most hilarious stories in recent memory.

[WrigleyField 22]

Did the sharks give him an offer too? 

[Hunter]

Someone needs to MS Paint Ohtani peaking out of the jet window.

[CubbyBlue2008]

He may still go to the Jays, but a little faith has been restored for me. I have no idea what to make of what’s going on.

I will say though, it’s odd that not one major Chicago/Cubs reporter has said anything today, despite everything going on. Could just be that absolutely nothing is happening, but it’s just odd. Not one comment.

Yes. There was enough time between Morosi's post and Bob's that you'd have expected someone to post a re-tweet of a recent "best other free agents" article or something. Sharma, Mooney. Levine, Rogers...didn't even get a Dave Kaplan fit or something. It was nothing.

Jed is definitely behind this. Doing whatever it takes to win

[Stratos]

Maybe the Jays brought in the Shark Tank guy to close that deal.
