I have no idea why Ohtani would pick Toronto over LA but I’d be happy to lie about how much better Toronto’s weather is than LA’s if it helps convince him.

For Rogers, it is a total no brainer to back up the Brinks truck to sign him. The deal will pay for itself. The stadium will be full. The merch will fly out the door. He can help bring the Jays to the Japanese market.

Not to mention that if he can pitch in 2024-25, you have a DH and a starter which save money. If you get 3-4 years of him doing both, it’s a good deal.
