Toronto can match the money for the most part but I’m a little skeptical. On one hand they need big numbers for their renovation. On the other hand, the economy is getting worse and Ohtani’s number is going to be huge.

From a players point of view, he’d fit into the LA lifestyle nicely, and have better weather. He doesn’t have to rely on Jays facilities to stay fit as he probably has a personal trainer anyway. Anyway, I could see the scenario where he’d be putting two teams against another to just meet as many of his requirements as possible, as well as get favourable clauses. If his preferred team exclusively dealt with him their hand wouldn’t be forced to give him everything. It’s skepticism at the highest level because there truly isn’t many reasons for him to come here. The reasons are in fans minds more than anything.
