    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.

    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.

    This is a really good point.

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

    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.

    I was thinking Oh Oh It's Magic. You know! You did. TT, you're a savant.

    Listen, if he pulls this one off, I'll go streaking.
  9. Jason Ross
    Ironically, a song that goes "You Know" directly afterwards. Except no one knows. Except Nightengale. This is weird.

    I like to think that Ohtani was just about to touchdown in Toronto to sign his contract, saw the Morosi tweet, grabbed the yoke of the play, physically took over the flight and then decided that he won't sign now because it leaked.
  12. Jason Ross
    Listen, it's rare we see a Bowden+Nightengale joint. Are they right? Have they combined to be extra-wrong? Are they sharing enough brain cells that journalistically they're right?

    Bob hasn't tweeted pure nonsense in a few hours. Let him go back into his cave.

    Frankly I hope he keeps getting opt-outs after one year and this can be MLB's off-season kickoff. Every year we huddle around twitter creepin' on Ohtani's travels to figure out which MLB franchise he signs with this time. Spoiler alert, every year the Dodgers are the favorite and he never picks them. Hard Knocks can eat their heart out. Sho-Time is here to stay. Coming soon to STARZ.
  16. Jason Ross
    Cant wait for him to have an opt-out after 2 years and we can do this all again soon.

    Dodgers guy seemed like he was right, too.
  18. Jason Ross
    For clarity's sake: From multiple sources (two Toronto based, Passan and Gonzalez) he has not made a decision. It would be weird if he hadn't made a choice, but took a flight to Toronto. It wasn't that "a decision was unknown" but a definitive "not". The "dinner reservations" was tweeted by an opera singer in Toronto who's been tweeting incessantly about Ohtani for days now and has under 1K followers. None of whom had any connection to being a legitimate sports reporter. I don't think that is his plane. I don't think that the dinner reservations are accurate. I think the first is a coincidence and the second someone pretending to know things. That doesn't mean I think any less of the smoke blowing; it certainly seems like right now Toronto is likely the choice ultimately. Only that I think these other two things are not useful in helping us make that determination.
  19. Jason Ross
    Bingo. The real likelihood is that the plane has someone else on it who's flying from Anaheim to Toronto for X reason. And then some opera singer, who has been tweeting incessantly about Ohtani for a bit, faked Kikuchi's sushi booking to make him self seem self-important. None of that is to discount how likely the Jays feel right now, only that I really have a lot of doubt about these plane trackers and dinner plans.
  20. Jason Ross
    I'll say this: if Passan/Gonzalez are saying he's not made a choice, it's likely not his flight. Be weird to not make a decision but fly to Toronto.
  21. Jason Ross
    He seems like some sort of reputable Dodgers blogger. Got a handful of retweets from reputable folks. With that said, the quick squash likely means this was either not sourced well and he ran with it, or just bad journalism.
  22. Jason Ross
    To confirm. No decision.

    https://dodgersnation.com/shohei-ohtani-to-sign-with-toronto-blue-jays-over-los-angeles-dodgers-sources/2023/12/08/ This is the first reports of Ohtani, indeed, choosing the Blue Jays. There is no confirmation yet, however this seems real.
  25. Jason Ross
    https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/cubs-reportedly-viewed-as-finalists-for-shohei-ohtani-jon9 There's not much there. But it's the faintest puff of smoke.
