Yesterday was crazy in baseball social media because apparently a bunch of small time media organizations and MLB Trade Rumors decided to run with a Jon Morosi rumor that Shohei Ohtani was in Toronto and his signing was imminent:
Sources: Shohei Ohtani is en route to Toronto today.
A representative of his agency, CAA, would not comment when asked about Ohtani’s travel plans.
At this hour, Ohtani does not have a signed agreement with any @MLB team. @MLBNetwork— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) December 8, 2023Ohtani was actually still in Southern California.
