Ohtani Watch: Recapping a wild day of Blue Jays rumours

If you thought Game 2 of the 2022 and 2023 American League Wild Card series were stress inducing, then you clearly didn't witness one of the wildest days in Toronto Blue Jays history. With Blue Jays fans and all of baseball on pins and needles, it was a roller coaster of emotions, not unlike a Blue Jays playoff elimination game the last two years. This entire week, Toronto was believed to be in the running for superstar free agent Shohei Ohtani, but that was sent into overdrive on Friday due to a confluence of “he said – he saw – he heard – he's pretty sure – he is wrong” reports throughout the day. This kind of bedlam related to the Blue Jays hasn't been seen since the David Price trade materialized at the 2015 MLB trade deadline.
