If it truly is down to the Jays and Dodgers, it's not about money, and like the Raptors did with Leonard, the Jays would handle any wishes Ohtani would have on and off the field. It would come down IMO to Ohtani intrigued of being followed by an entire country as opposed to the vast among of Dodger fans.
Of course could all be PR smoke by the Jays to keep relevant, similar maybe to how the Darvish thing went, as mentioed above.

IMO, the whole country thing is completely overblown. On the list of things that would be important to a player that would probably come around the 8th factor. He’s going to have a following anywhere he goes. I think that’s precisely a fan hope why he’d chose Toronto. Players will say all the right things about fans but the whole country angle is severely marketing speak.
