Edit: that guy on the plane we were all tracking is represented by the same agency as Ohtani.

Talk about a crazy coincidence.
I've been reading this morning about the apparent last minute push by LA on Friday through the on-purpose leak. Now we know why they wanted extreme silence as that was likely always their plan (to squeeze out the most). I don't blame any person for seeking out the most in their financial earnings, but what I don't get is the fake news that he's not all about the money. The proof is in the pudding that he wanted the money bigtime and leveraged the Jays to get it. He handcuffed the Jays management team so I have no problem booing him. I like his athletic ability, but as a fan who got used, meh, he'll get a small amount of boos from me. I'd do that with anyone who did that to one of my teams, talented or not.
