I just have to say that Gump is wrong on that one. Almost everyone I know at least support the Jays, most people don't watch baseball or even know much about the game but when its playoff time It's actually insane the amount of Jays merch you see around walking around enthusiastically talking ball, a bit like the Raptors, they represent all of Canada and Shohei has the chance to do what Kawhi did and rally an entire country, It's something us Canadians could really use right now.
This sounds like a desperate attempt to think you still have an identity beyond other culture than Canadians rofl. You deserve everything coming to you.
Right you just confirmed they are kind of a Fairweather fanbase. When they are good that dome is packed but when they're 52-55 in July it's crickets. Still awesome sports town but Philly, Chicago, NY they are not
@@pstratos7Lol He is just as likely to chose Toronto as the Dodgers & the ignorant american takes + whining will be even more pathetic then now if he does 🙄
This right here is a pristine example of why Pat is just so damn likable. Show me one of those goons on ESPN wearing a hockey jersey AND holding a baseball bat/talking about baseball like this. I'll wait.
I really, really wish he didn't get hurt this year. It reminds me of those unfortunate people who almost made it, but got cut short due to a serious injury.
Is buddy out of his mind? lol The Blue Jays are BELOVED from coast to coast. Even Montrealers love the Jays and they LOATHE everything about the Toronto. Look no further than Seattle and Minneapolis. Western Canadians literally take over those ballparks. They regularly look like Blue Jay home games. Pfft….”I don’t think all of Canada loves the Blue Jays”….what a crazy comment.
In Toronto Ohtani could live as big as he wants or not. He doesn't have that "not" luxury in Hollywood. Don't kid yourself folks LA can get old quick to lots of folks, especially to people who shun the limelight.
I went to bed ecstatic...thinking I would wake up to the press conference in Toronto. When I woke up and saw that he was going to the Dodgers, I had to shake my head and rub my eyes for 10 min. I almost choked on my breakfast. Well...now we know. But...I am confused -- what's with the Canada/Toronto haters?
Toronto would be epic. The same teams always getting the big players gets old as a baseball fan. I can see why the Dodgers are the most marketable, but not again.
lol its always reporters and analysts that hate shohei being private because it gives them nothing to talk about. If shohei went and did a whole world tour, i guarantee fans would hate it even more than you hate him being private lol.
Yes, come to To. We are in desperate needs of rich folks to pay for our crumbling healthcare system. Fortunately for him, Shohei probably knows his way around income tax but let’s pretend someone invested in the stocks and made 600milli. You gonna be lucky to see 250 net net after tax. But nobody end paying that much when the paper for 6 months +1 day residency in the Cayman Islands cost around 45k.
The Jay's got the best starters in the league, best training facility and privacy too add an other Country to his value is way much than LA plus Toronto is an awesome multicultural place no racism like in the USA
You've clearly never talked to people from Toronto because they will 100% tell you racism is alive and kicking there. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there's pretty much no country in the world that doesn't have some sort of racism.
Ohtani was MVP caliber when playing and the Angels still sucked…sadly for the MLB, it won’t ever compete with an NFL or NBA since it isn’t an individual driven sport. No one player can carry a team to a title. No matter how much of a monster they might be.
Lebron was the best player in the league. How many championships did the Lakers win with him? One. The idea that one player in any team sport can win a champion on his own is a myth. Even Michael Jordan didn't start winning until Scotty Pipen joined the team.
@@onespeedliteyou and I both know LeBron was the only reason they even had a shot at winning that one title. Ohtani wouldn’t provide that for any of the 30 teams in the MLB
@@mannydejesus197 "Ohtani wouldn’t provide that for any of the 30 teams in the MLB" No disagreement here. That's not a indictment on him. The only thing you can say is that he gives a team a "better chance". He helps a team win with his bat and pitching. There's nothing more you can ask from the guy.
if ohtani signed with the blue jays because of what roberts did, then as a dodger, i wouldn't want ohtani as a dodger. this would show weak minded he is. ohtani isn't a winner.
Dodgers are favorites because, well they're the Dodgers. The blue jays make sense logistically. However I believe a dark horse are the Phillies. Bringing back Nola strengthens their rotation and Ohtani isn't pitching next year. Hitting in-between Harper and Bohm at that ballpark 81 games my god his numbers would be unreal. I hope he doesn't go to Philly but they're a top 5 market, may just be best fanbase in sports and best team in NL and likely winning another pennant with or without. They have the money and He wants to win so makes sense. But doubt it
Always enjoy when you guys bring Jeff on and cover some baseball
I don't watch baseball but the way that he speaks about it is so Informitive and professional and very good listen
Agreed!!!
You really love to see it.
I don't watch baseball but he's such a fun guest and the vibe with the boys is awesome.
Agreed!!
All of Canada is holding its breath right now.

Let's Go Blue Jays!!! From Japan
In Toronto's defence, if Shohei went to the Jays he would be playing in NY and BOS 9 times a year which is way more than if he were a Dodger
You don’t choose a team because of their opponents though
That isn't a defense of Toronto ugh... That's just pandering to the american ignorance smh

I'm not even the biggest baseball fan and feel like you guys need to bring on the Jet more!
If he wants to pay Canadian taxes.. New York and California aren't great either.
Pat talking about the NHL and not Ohtani watch with the Jay's. Lets go! Subscribed!
I’m stationed in Japan and passan is speaking facts, Ohtani is everywhereeeee in Japan
Yup his salary from Rogers in Toronto will be covered by their expansion into the Asian market alone😊
The tyson shirt 🤣
40 million Canadians are all over the media waiting for an answer from Shohei! Don't kid yourselves...lol
Oh my it is so surprising he lived in l.a. and decided to stay in L.A. also got paid 700 mil....
$600 million just to hit baseballs…… and be one of the best starters at the same time
Remember Washington State has no state income tax.
Jeff Passan "Ohtani to Toronto makes the most sense" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just seeing this for the first time (12.19.24)
Such a scumbag move by the this weasel and other reporters for being upset on shohei. They were salivating for a free agency circus.
Love this 🇨🇦🇺🇸🔥😆
He will actually be hail as a hero if he goes to Canada
Ohtani on the Jays would be AWESOME
“Smoke weed with Drake.”😂😂
-Pat McAfee
Gumpy is wrong. Canada loves the blue jays
Gumpy is crazy thinking Canada wouldn’t go wild for Ohtani
we all should believe in Pat McAfee
First time I've ever seen baseball on the show love it
I really, really wish he didn't get hurt this year. It reminds me of those unfortunate people who almost made it, but got cut short due to a serious injury.
Playing double duty can't be good for wear and tear. 10 year deal is insane
0:47 who did it? 😂
You could argue that Shohei is a 350M hitter and a 350M pitcher (when he returns)
Please come to the Jays.
dh’s dont deserve $350m

Hello! Where ever he can fit in and play and love watching blue jays and take care y’all and big hugs and blessings.😊
Dodgers better not fail me during Winter ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
Gump's a dummy. Ask Seattle fans if they like when Jays fans from western Canada take over their stadium. 36 million Jays fans in Canada.
I don't care about the MLB or its trades, but Jeff is always a fantastic guest in the show.
Woah baseball talk on espn. That's rare.
Is buddy out of his mind? lol

The league bias towards LA is insane
If he comes to the jays the whole country has his back not just a city
0:47 someone farted
Y’all underestimate the jays because they’re the only team in Canada, this team goes anywhere deep in playoffs u have a whole country behind him.
Come to Toronto please please I’m freaking out
In Toronto Ohtani could live as big as he wants or not. He doesn't have that "not" luxury in Hollywood. Don't kid yourself folks LA can get old quick to lots of folks, especially to people who shun the limelight.

Love that Football is covered but I'm Enjoying the Soccer and Baseball talks too let snot forget the Wrassslinnnn !!!
I'd rather see ohtani go to a team like jays than a team like dodgers, Yankees, mets or Red Sox.
"whoa!" gooodl lord
Thank god there’s still some hope Otani will sign somewhere in CA. Not Canada
I don't think Toronto does offseason in GTA... pretty sure it is in Florida, please correct if I am wrong.
Sorry Conman, you should Google Trudeau and Canada. It's just like Cali, but with snow.
Canada? Get the hell out! Have you seen who’s running that shot box?
I met Passan IRL this year
LA gonna make a move 💯
LeBron was massivly criticized for his free agency circus.
$70m a year for a guy who may never pitch again…. Super dangerous move for the dodgers
Do the Dodgers really need Ohtani? No. Are the Dodgers gonna land Ohtani? Yes.
Dodgers fans and American fans don’t need him,the reason why he signed with the Jays
Toronto would be epic. The same teams always getting the big players gets old as a baseball fan. I can see why the Dodgers are the most marketable, but not again.

Pat, don’t think we forgot about you buying Pittsburgh Pirates. You got the money now brother! Let’s have some fun!!!!
How is all the news saying he’s going to the Jays not leaks?
Ohtani 😂we no you're listening 🔥🇨🇦😆🇺🇸
All I want for Christmas is Shohei as a Blue Jay. Please Lord and Santa. I've been very good this year. Amen.
Shohei is tired of seeing rows and rows of tents and addicts on his drive to the stadium. Toronto is a good move for him.
Seattle !
bro who farted????😂😂😂
If he doesn't want to fly to Japan from the east coast... Toronto doesn't seem much different.
wonder which division will be tougher of the next coming years, al east, al west or nl west
