I’m sold on the team having interest, but not sold on the dollars commitment or the rumour itself. Simply put, some insiders have been saying Ohtani’s group has told interested teams to STFU about talks and if they don’t it could affect their chances of getting him. Based on that alone I could see the Yanks float this out there. If they were to get him it would be a treat to somehow pry the best player ever, Trout, with him in a deal. The thought of Trout in a Jays uniform is intriguing (not a rumour, just my made up scenario).
