The entire baseball community is sitting and waiting to see what Shohei Ohtani is going to end up doing. Ohtani, the best baseball player in the world and the incredibly rare player who is exceptional as both a hitter and a pitcher, hit the open market this winter, and there’s no word on what he’s going to end up doing as he’s placed a priority on secrecy throughout this process.
A few teams have been mentioned as potential landing spots for the two-time AL MVP, one of whom is the Toronto Blue Jays. Things looked like they were escalating on Friday, as reports indicated that a private plane was going from southern California to Toronto. It led to rampant speculation that Ohtani was on that plane and going to announce that he would become the biggest free agent signing in Jays history.
A representative of his agency, CAA, would not comment when asked about Ohtani’s travel plans.
At this hour, Ohtani does not have a signed agreement with any @MLB team. @MLBNetwork
