The thing is I don't think anyone on the Dodgers would be told yet. I bet he'll do an exam with the Jays first, then if things work out he'll inform the Dodgers. If things don't, and he informed the Dodgers already he'd have to go back with his tail between his legs. That's specifically why I'm skeptical of anyone knowing anything. If he told the Dodgers they're out I think more would know. Mind you it could be the Dodgers keeping quiet to his wishes because if he ever opted out they could always be an option, but I still think this is a nothing report. When there's an apparent 50/50 chance, some insiders very well don't mind losing the credibility when there's a 50% chance they could get a huge following. The upside is nice for some of these guys.
