Blue Jays priced as 2nd betting favorite to sign Ohtani

We can do it!!!!
I am not ready to get hurt again this soon.
Who cares how the general public is betting
If they took a survey of Baseball Executives and they said the same thing then I’ll start edging. Even then getting over the Dodgers is a huge Hurdle
I don’t see how it makes sense to the Toronto front office, but if we’re talking a Gaussman-like contract I’m all for it…
It’s because he wants to play with Bo Bichette!
I am so goddamn ready to be hurt again
I’m with that one dude who said he just wanted Ohtani to sign somewhere, anywhere, just to end this.
He’s not signing with the Blue Jays. Why they keep popping up is hilarious and massive clickbait.
It’s like buying a lottery ticket, it’s fun to dream while it’s still technically possible.
It should be noted these odds are from a Canadian sportsbook, because of that it gets lots of Canadian money betting on him going to the Jays. The numbers are skewed because of that. I think we do have really good odds to get him, but not sure about 2nd best
Anyone remember when Blue Jays were close 2nd in Darvish signing?
I’ll bet the Angels weren’t the #1 favourites last time around. Let’s see if he shocks people again!
I am not saying we will get him, but I feel we have a decent shot (at least 20%). That is better than most times we get announced.
We have a Japanese Player who is well liked and grew up near him on our team.
We have one of the biggest Japanese populations outside of Japan.
A very stacked team with Ohtani (assuming Rogers pays the massive tax penalty).
Owners that actually have the money to make this a reality.
Owners that can directly benefit from Ohtani through their media empire to offset the tax penalty.
It would grow the game in Canada for MLB.
It isn’t crazy to see why the betting odds are showing us in the running. 🙏 🥹
Vegas seems to have the insider scoop on some things. I’m trying not to get my hopes up but the rolling ball of good news/rumours has me feeling optimistic.
He is headed to the Dodgers. It makes way too much sense and I am not letting myself become emotionally invested in Ohtani as a Jay.
Im not buying these odds. If they were from vegas I’d put more stock into it.
Quick someone pull up the Kevin Durant to Raptors odds
I’ve been ignoring all these articles and this subreddit and r/baseball because of BS rumours. I’d rather be happy or content with our signings come March than disappointed at pie in the sky opportunities that we may or may not have had a chance at.
I’m almost there 🤤

I will be VERY shocked if he signs with anyone but the Dodgers.
I can see the team making a push because the revenue he brings in would 100% be worth both the contract and the renovations.
I’m not gonna hope though
I would be thrilled if he did, but not holding my breath.
I’m just curious why he’d want to sign here in the first place? What’s the upside for him? Playing in the east? Playing with Yusei? Full time DH?
Come on Eddie Rogers have some balls for once
Rogers just wants attention
Always the Bride’s Maid. Never the Bride.
I wish people would stop posting betting odds as if it means something.
All it means is more people are putting their money on Toronto, likely because they’re named in most of the rumors.
lol sure.
I’m not surprised. But I’m still amazed that people bet on stuff like this.
In terms of the player what will be will be.
I would never buy a jersey so fast
Holy shit.
I was in vegas during the summer and edmonton and toronto had the best odds of winning the Stanley cup this season
There’s no way he’ll sign with Toronto. There’s a better chance of him staying in Anaheim
Rogers should play 4D chess and just buy whatever team he signs with /s
I remember when we were in the run to get Yu Darvish
Not like this will even affect his contract but he’s not pitching next year right?
It will make up for pulling Berrios
LA vs Toronto, it’s like the Kawhi sweepstakes all over again
