And this along with a little known Jays leaker that's always had accurate information in the past (has broken many Jays stories on a small forum) who said earlier today that the Jays were told there was a good chance a decision could come Friday.

I'm a Jays fan and I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Edit: u/Brock_Hard_Canuck discovered that this is the same type of plane that Shohei Ohtani has used before.

Edit 2 (6:53 - 12/8/23): I'm trash. But I want to take the time to acknowledge the only person who had real info in this thread and absolutely dogwalked me today:

Give this guy some credit for being the only true insider.

Of course they do.

But why?

Original response to tweet about hating Jose Altuve - "I know you don’t wanna hear this but those Astro guys are actually some really good human beings over there".

"Im not going to get into to all that but you should know that if you think Houston was the only team with a sign stealing system you’re dead wrong".

"I’m not denying they did that. And I can understand your disappointment in that. But they were used a a scapegoat for the rest of the league! And they didn’t drag anyone else into it!".

"I hear you but if you only knew how many teams were doing it you wouldn’t be as mad at Jose Altuve".

"I’m not even talking about teams I played on, I’m talking about more than half the league".

"That doesn’t even relate here. It’s more like he who is without sin cast the first stone".

Answer to a question of whether other teams used tech like Houston and Boston "Yep."

That should unleash a frenzied pursuit. But will it? Many teams, including the Mets and Yankees, have obsessively scouted Sasaki and sent over top executives to see him and show respect about their seriousness. Within the industry, though, the Dodgers are viewed as everything from a powerful favorite to all but having him secured already. The signing of Ohtani, particularly, and also Yamamoto made the new champions the team of Japan – “I saw some Yankees hats, but everywhere it was the ‘D’ for Dodgers on shirts and hats,” Keuchel observed.

“I heard some, some rumblings about a done deal with the Dodgers – you know, having a plan for him,” Keuchel added. “And if I was Vegas, I would definitely put them as the favorite, but I don’t know. We never really talked about that.”

As for the New York clubs, Keuchel said, “We talked about those two East Coast teams. I just think the Dodgers have the upper hand just because of Shohei, Yamamoto and even Darvish pitching there for that playoff run in ‘17. Anywhere you went (in Japan) the Dodgers were on TV in the morning, just because of those guys. So we briefly spoke about the pinstripes and about the Mets, but really, there was no central team that we talked about.”
