The #Brewers have been informed they will not move to second round with Japanese free agent Shohei Ohtani.

#DBacks also out on Ohtani, per source.

Teams that have yet to acknowledge outcome include #Cubs, #Angels, #Rangers, #Padres. Possible indication they’re in; not confirmed.

 

[Jaypers]

M's and Giants still in - they will receive meetings with his reps.

Small market Giants

Bring me your Bickford, Ryan McMahon, Senzatela and Peter Lambert cards

 

[Jaypers]

Rays, White Sox and Cardinals are all out.

Bob Nightengale‏@BNightengale
Several #MLB GMs now believe that the Seattle #Mariners are the clear-cut front runners for Ohtani's services and the Mariners are cautiously optimistic

It’s an episode of the Bachelor......


Rays are out

Yep, posted that, Cardinals and White Sox above. They're dropping like flies.

To no one's surprise, the #Braves are out on Shohei Otani.

The Nationals have been told they are out of the running for Shohei Ohtani, according to a person familiar. No surprise there.

Any guesses of what level he starts at?

He will become a Mariner. They really look for 3 things in a player and he checks all the boxes.

[X] Is the player Japanese?
[X] Does the player have an arm injury?
[X] Would that contract to sign said player be too large for a team needed to rebuild?


Yes, he WILL become a Mariner.

Although I thoroughly enjoy the humor won't his initial contract be relatively small due to the international signing rules??

Teams known to be or believed to be meeting with Ohtani, per sources and reports: #Dodgers; #Mariners; #SFGiants; #Padres; #Cubs; #Rangers. Status of #Astros and #Reds not known. Status of #Angels also not known…

 

[aarne13]

3 teams did not even reply to the info request from CAA. Pretty lame to not even try. I'm leaning towards SEA, TX and SD. I would think the Cubs and the Reds are out and if small market is important you can cross off LA and SF.

 

[jbone17]

Ah screw that Ohtani guy. He's overrated I'm joking, I'm joking. It would have been nice for the Yanks to land him, but it just seems like the kid prefers the west coast. Oh well! Time to turn the attention on Maitan!

Jon Heyman @JonHeyman
Reds, like every team east of the Mississippi except cubs, are out on ohtani

 

[Jaypers]

Astros are out as well.

The final seven are Dodgers, Mariners, Giants, Padres, Cubs, Rangers and Angels.
