All eyes are on Shohei Ohtani, at least for Torontonians.
Toronto is anxiously waiting to see if the two-time MVP is coming to the Blue Jays.
According to MLB Network report Jon Morosi, the free agent pitcher and designated hitter is en route to Toronto today.
MLB insiders reported that Ohtani could make his decision as early as today.
The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers are reported to be finalists to land the 29-year-old, according to Sportsnet.
With speculation that Ohtani is on his way to Toronto, people online are closely watching a private jet that was scheduled today to fly from Anaheim, the city where Ohtani played with the Los Angeles Angels for the last six seasons, to Toronto, to arrive just before 5 p.m., according to according to flight tracking website FlightAware.
Ohtani is possibly the most sought-after player in MLB history, and is expected to command an offer well over $500 million (U.S.), with some speculating the bidding could reach over $600 million, according to The Star.
Online, people are anxiously waiting on the edge of their seats for the news with some humorous commentary.
One user even compared the hype to the time when Toronto was closely watching Kawhi Leonard’s private jet when he was en route to the city to sign with the Raptors back in 2018.
