The Dodgers also arent going to come out and say "we dont like our chances" - Knowing they will also be in on all the other FA's as well
Always want to negotiate from strength

Come on Shohei, pick the Jays. The Dodgers land enough high end talent.

To us even as fans we understand for days now, that there was insistent silence on this. Roberts being in the game, and being part of a corporation would know what the rules are. So either he’s the dumbest person on earth or it’s part of some strategy. I’m willing to guess it was somehow intentional.

I dunno. That seems really odd. Their angle if it’s intentional is lost on me.

Fair. Could be putting him on the spot to dare him not to sign if they think somehow it didn’t go perfect?

This really is some delicious entertainment during an offseason that has been brutally boring up until this point.

Whichever way this falls, the documentary will be compelling theatre.

I don't think it necessarily means Texas. He just might know the right person(s) being an ex-player.

Well I’ve let my hopes get up despite knowing all along there is a 99% chance we are just being used as a pawn.

I was worried about that, but am less worried we were just a pawn once we found out about the facility visit. Still possible of course, but at least Ohtani is going through all the motions.
