Ohtani, I heard you were on a plane to Toronto...
I was at home, there was an absurd uproar, “Nothing has been decided yet.”
It was a big commotion last night. The rumor surrounding 'FA biggest name' Shohei Ohtani (28) of an imminent transfer to the Toronto Blue Jays was revealed to be incorrect information.
The starting point was 'MLB Network' reporter John Morosi. On the night of the 8th, Korean time, reporter Moroshi said, “Ohtani’s decision is imminent. He launched an ad balloon, saying, “It could be decided as early as today.”
Reporter Moroshi weighed in on Otani's move to Toronto. He also said through the broadcast, “It has not yet been confirmed where he will go, but it is clear that momentum for a trip to Toronto has been created after Ohtani visited Florida on the 5th.” It is reported that Ohtani visited the Toronto Spring Training Center in Dunedin, Florida on the 5th, toured the facilities, and met with the club.
Reporter Moroshi, who then posted the Toronto flag on social media, said, “Ohtani is heading to Toronto today,” giving off the nuance that a contract was imminent.
The Los Angeles Dodgers media outlet 'Dodge Nation' added fuel to the fire. Reporter JP Huunstra borrowed from a source and said, 'Ohtani signed with Toronto. He said, "There will be an announcement as early as tonight," and it seemed like a trip to Toronto was becoming a fait accompli.
On this day, there was even an eyewitness report that Otani boarded a charter flight to Toronto from an airport near Anaheim, California, and the local atmosphere in Toronto heated up. When Ohtani arrived in Toronto to sign a contract, fans eagerly awaited Ohtani's arrival in Toronto through flight tracking.
However, upon confirmation, Otani was not on this plane. ‘USA Today Sports’ reporter Bob Nightingale said, ‘Ohtani is not in Toronto. I didn't go to Toronto. “I’m at home in Southern California,” he announced.
‘The Athletic’ columnist Jim Borden also said, ‘Ohtani is not in Toronto. There is no agreement, and no contract decision is imminent. The lies and assumptions must stop. He added, “He hasn’t made a decision yet.”

Canadian public broadcaster 'CBC News' reporter Devin Herroux confirmed that Otani was not on this plane. It was revealed that Canadian businessman Robert Hayavich was on the plane Otani was believed to be on with his family. Fans who had expected Ohtani to join Toronto were disappointed, and reporter Moroshi, who provided incorrect information, could not avoid strong criticism.
As a result, Otani's trip to Toronto that day ended as an incident. After becoming a free agent, Otani's side maintained strict secrecy, leading to many rumors. Summarizing reports so far, it is known that four teams, including Toronto, the Dodgers, and their original teams, the LA Angels and San Francisco Giants, are finalists for the Ohtani race.
Contrary to Reporter Moroshi's report, it is said that Otani's decision requires a little more time. Borden said: 'According to sources within the team involved in negotiations with Ohtani, he has not yet made a decision. “The process is ongoing, with no decision imminent,” he said. “Ohtani and his agent, CAA Nez Valero, are working carefully and diligently to find a new home.” “Whether it is the Dodgers, Toronto, San Francisco or any other team, they deserve respect from the media and protection of their privacy and integrity until they decide on their next team,” he said, emphasizing the need to avoid excessive speculation.
