There is a theory out there that Jon Morosi was set up by a connection of his at the Management Group that represents Ohtani , Naz Belelo (Shoetei's Agent) and The CAA Group "may" have had a Flunky float the story to Morosi that they were pissed at Dodgers Manager Davey Roberts flappin his gums and that Ohtani was flying to Toronto to meet with The Blue Jays .All with the intent of getting more money out of Los Angeles . Now maybe the Messenger thought he was giving Morosi accurate information and he too was set up ......somebody knows the truth but ain't sayin . Right or Wrong though Morosi is wearing it . I have a lot more respect for Morosi than everyone dancing on the Jays grave like Rosenthal and Heyman.

His employer owns the Blue Jays yet he's not calling them out for his trip to the airport or cutting hockey talk to bring back Blair and Barker at 5pm. Rogers participated in every part of the process yet he wants to go off about unchecked gossip. Call out your employer for participating in the gossip. They're the ones who were retweeting it and rescheduling media shows to talk about it which when you own the damn team just adds more credibility to the gossip.

As a Red Sox fan, I was honestly rooting for the Jays to get Ohtani. It would've been so cool to see him play for the lone Canadian team.
However as a Sox fan, I'm also relieved he isn't in Toronto.
Baseball needs a hard salary cap. There's just no way most teams could even think of competing with a team like the Dodgers on big name players.

KK signs a 1yr deal with the Jays.
Say what you must about his at bats.....but his defensive play in CF is outstanding.

I don’t think they are trying to cheap it out … they made a legitimate offer to Ohtani, who chose the Dodgers, and may or may not have made a strong offer to Yamamoto. Ultimately both guys chose the Dodgers. It is a weak free agent class … the other top guys all have warts. I would just as soon they not make a stupid move that ties their hands long term by throwing stupid dollars and term at players that may not be difference makers. Bellinger at last years’ price - yes please! At 200M plus, no thanks. Same for Chapman. Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don’t make.

I am happy about this but I can't help but think the Jays are trying to cheap it out. They better spend some money. They've made many smart decisions with shorter term deals. Whats out there is not worth the money. I'm happy Chapman should be going elsewhere for what he brings. Cant stand watching him hit. Bellinger isn't worth what he'll get. Save your money, invest it in depth, buy to fill holes during the season if what you need isnt there now. Spending 9 figures on a terrible deal is how you screw yourself long term. Not signing Kiermaier's for a year. Thats smart business from my perspective. Who do you want money spent on?

Does this Guy make the Jays Better ? Better defensively, yes. He's an upgrade on Merrifield all around.
