The Blue Jays Star Players just signed her resignation papers after it was confirmed that…
Several people who talked with Dodgers Nation on Friday claim that the two-way superstar has put an end to the speculation surrounding the most lucrative free-agent chase in baseball history. It’s anticipated that an official statement will be made tonight.
Although the precise amount of Ohtani’s contract is unknown, it is anticipated to surpass Mike Trout’s record 12-year, $426.5 million agreement with the Angels in value.
Throughout the two-way superstar’s negotiation process, Blue Jays management has been upbeat and has secretly considered their chances to be as excellent as any team’s until there were only three teams left: the Dodgers, the Angels, and themselves.
The Dodgers, who made Ohtani the center of their off-season planning, are extremely disappointed by the news. Before Ohtani’s latest meeting with the Blue Jays, they had a face-to-face meeting in Los Angeles last Friday.
Ohtani isn’t thought to have chosen Toronto in part because of manager Dave Roberts’ open confirmation of the meeting.
Rogers Communications is a $24 billion multimedia corporation that owns the Jays. Along with owning radio and television stations across the nation, as well as the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL and the Blue Jays of the NBA, they are a major provider of internet and cable services north of the border. According to a person closely involved in the process, Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri considers a half-billion dollar (or more) investment in the best players in the game to be quite small.
