With apologies to Ben Wagner, Tyler Heineman, non-roster invitees, and all the other news items I wasn't able to get to in this one. It's Shohei time. (Plus a dash of Juan Soto for good measure).
My feeling is that $500 million could be better spent elsewhere on multiple players over the next few years to keep the good vibes rolling, but who can guarantee that any key existing or future free agents will come here? So if for some crazy reason Ohtani actually does want to come here - I say pay the money! After all, it's not our money!
This is the best of the articles featuring Ohtani, that I’ve read all week! The Jays appear to be in it to win it. Even if they don’t get him, they’re making the rest of Baseball sit up and take notice. This is a great time to be a Jays fan, thanks Stoeten.
Front page SI has Ohtani going Jays, what world am I living in....
Why not. I mean why not get both of them? Banners fly forever.

Thanks for pumping the hype! I find it very hard to get excited about things before they happen, but you're right - it's fun, screw it. Let's dream!
So The Batflip drops in my inbox and I'm like, Honey, gimme 5 minutes. Gotta read this.
As always, respect your optimism and calling out the crybabies.
