What I love about today is the insiders know they don't know anything and are shutting the hell up. Morosi basically outed himself as a phony based on the outward lie he went with, and all the others know their credibility is shot as nobody knows anything. It would literally be Ohtani himself, his agent and perhaps his family who know where he's going. If none are going to leak it, there's nobody insiders can get info from. No need to wreak your reputation.
And to the Dodgersnation double down, not sure what to make of it. Deals leak at the NHL from the lead offices when forms are submitted and someone at the office leaks it. If he still has to go through physical exams, I'd just imagine the Jays would fly their docs down there or to Dunedin and get it done, then file the paperwork. The longer this goes on I'd be inclined to believe that the Dodgers are getting him as they'd be doing the medical exams needed on the down-low.
I don't know what's holding up Ohtani from making a decision though. That's the most annoying part in all this. His season ended a long time ago, and he knew his contenders and what they had to offer. A couple sleeps on it, cool. Waiting a week or so seems like an analysis-paralysis situation.
