So.....damn.
Good news, he’s also said no to the Yankees, so maybe he has a soul. Red Sox are also out. Twins and A’s as well.
Sounds like it his choice had nothing to do with the Jays ‘presentation’.
The Blue Jays were informed they are not a finalist for Ohtani. GM Ross Atkins: “We felt confident about our presentation and we were given feedback by Shohei Ohtani’s representation that we controlled everything within our power.”

I would have liked seeing him in a Jays jersey.
UPDATE:
According to Ken Rosenthal, eight teams now remain in the running; only three of them are in the AL, and none of them are in the AL East.
