I believe in the Jays.

Now this is the type of chatter that I like. Some smoke with the scuttlebutt.

This would be such a franchise altering signing if it took place. I don’t think I’ve digested just how massive it would be, on every level imaginable

Atkins seems loose, confident. A lot different than his demeanor we’ve seen recently. Trying not to read in to this too much but definitely reading in to it a little

I’m leaning in fully to the Ohtani rumors. I don’t care if I get my hopes crushed. This is too fun.

Cubs optimism is ‘waning’ apparently.
Dodgers, Jays, Giants, Angels?

Truculent!

Angels?
There is a less than zero chance he goes back to the Angels.
Haha.

With Nightengale reporting it, well, he's definitely a Cub now.

This would be like signing Roy Halladay and Carlos Delgado in their primes to about $25 million per season each. Of course, that's assuming he comes back pitching like an ace in 2024.

Dave Roberts admitted they met with him the last few days. So that means the Dodgers went against his wishes and are out of it for leaking it right? Right?

It means either:
They got him, and it doesn't matter.
They didn't get him, and it doesn't matter.
Ohtani doesn't care if they leak so it doesn't matter.

I think his wishes would have been more don't admit to it just before or while it's happening so he doesn't have to deal with the media stalking him when he shows up.
I don't think he would hold it against a team for admitting they've made their pitch after the fact. Especially a team like the Dodgers who everyone knows would be one of the considered teams.

Respecting ones wishes is very important in Japanese culture. I hope this curses the Dodgers!

Sure reads like confidence. Not surprising at all, considering. These are the overwhelming favorites after all.

Yeah. It sounded like a confident quote from Roberts. Almost like they think they have it in the bag without saying it. The nice thing was that apparently they met a few days ago. Jays were apparently yesterday. Hopefully there’s a recency bias.

They're now saying Roberts got a text message during that presser and then got all serious and left to talk to Dodgers public relations officials lol
This is wild speculation
