  6. I like to think Ohtani hasn’t even woken up yet today, and has no idea any of this is going on.

  9. It is just some dude, Ohtani might still sign with the Blue Jays but he is not on that flight.

  11. Blue Jays GM gonna get off the plane with tears in his eyes and get absolutely mobbed by Jays fans.

  13. Ohtani: I will be upset with any team that discusses any meetings or my whereabouts

    Jays fans: follow that plane!!!

  14. In case anyone was wondering why Ohtani wanted secrecy during the FA process, it’s this. This is the shit he was trying to avoid

  15. Ngl as a Blue Jays AND soccer fan, it’s pretty funny to see the plane tracking make its way over to baseball. This is a pretty common occurrence with football transfers. Like I remember over 30,000 people were watching Harry Kane’s flight from London to Munich this past summer.

  17. Why would he even be flying to Toronto today if he was indeed signing with them. I doubt physicals would be done already, so it’s not like they’d have a press conference today anyway.

  18. As funny as this is, my paranoid brain can’t help but think about the ppl in this world who would convince themselves that he’s truly on this flight and show up to the airport for whatever reason.

    Reminds me of the wrestling fans who stalked out airports trying to meet Seth Rollins.

  19. I’m waiting for blurry iPhone pictures of a tall Asian guy getting off from said private plane before losing my mind.

  23. I think the funniest possible outcome would be for Ohtani to sign with the Blue Jays, but for this particular flight to be completely unrelated. Double plot twist!

  24. People not remember there’s a bunch of Canadian actors in SoCal who head home for holidays. Guess Mike Myers is switching from hockey to baseball.

  25. Holy shit this thread is going to be fucking gold now im reading on twitter its blue jays executives flying home… Wow

  26. I think maximum wildness would be if it was Arte on the flight and as he walks off the plane, he’s wearing a shirt that just says “He stay”

  28. As a Jays fan, I would be devastated ifI this happens, but it would be hilarious if he was on the plane, he lands, he has a big press conference called at Pearson Airport, he says “I am signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers” then just gets on the plane and leaves.

  29. I love that one time every season when the entire baseball fandom collectively becomes completely fucking *unglued*.
