I was skeptical about Ohtani right up until the “he’s on a flight” tweet.

I’m skeptical on this too - I don’t think he’ll want to leave New York…let alone the country…unless he’s getting two Brinks trucks backed up. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense. The Jays will make a play and make it public so that it shows that they are trying to do something again and can fall back on the “we were in on him and made our best pitch” excuse. But I think it is largely PR for both sides. The problem for the Jays is that their fans have lost patience and faith in the front office and they can’t afford to swing and miss again.
