Dodgers Nation standing firm on their initial report that Ohtani has picked the Jays and they are just finalizing all the details, etc

They claim multiple sources have confirmed this since their initial report.

What’s going on? Has Ohtani decided or hasn’t he?
According to multiple sources who spoke with Dodgers Nation on Friday, Ohtani’s decision is still in. The Dodgers do not expect to sign him. The Toronto Blue Jays do.

Wait, why isn’t Ohtani to Toronto a done deal?
The time between a free agent making his decision and the time his contract becomes official is not instantaneous. After agreeing to terms, passing a physical, putting pen to paper, submitting the contract to MLB, and having the contract approved by the league, only then does a contract between a player and a team become official. That process hasn’t played out with Ohtani. It can’t begin, of course, until he decides on a team.
