Ohtani has been living in a tent by the Santa Ana River.  He doesn't plan to move.

Unless its the angels...they already have it all. I'm sure he may not want to go through what correa went through last year.

On a crazy train?

It would be awesome if the Rays still won the AL East after the Yankees acquired Soto and IF the Blue Jays signed Ohtani.

JP Hoornstra said he signed with Toronto. Not sure how confirmed this is?

I'd enjoy it even more if they both miss the playoffs completely and would then go to work posting on their sites about how they are wasting the careers of Soto, Cole, Judge, Ohtani, Vlad Jr, and Bichette.

Correa taught me to no longer assume anything is a done deal until the ink is dry and the team has officially announced.

Shohei’s profile, marketability and impact make any amount worth the gamble but there has to be another level of scrutiny with his medical due to the investment and wear and tear two-way involves.

And until three weeks later after he's signed with a third team!
