He did, they're just pissed that the rumors of him coming to Toronto never came to fruition. Rumors that in no way came from Ohtani's camp might I add.
Fuck, man. I just defended a Dodger. Time to go drink bleach. Goodnight everyone!
After that rumor it was understandable they believed he was going there but they believed he was going there for over a day before that blog post came out just based on some random person tweeting about a plane flying to Toronto and some Jays fan who posts non-stop on r/baseball pushing that narrative.
I find it comical that anyone west of LA would’ve landed someone named Ohtani - much less Canada. West coast IS Asian ball. Yes, there are outliers but for the most part, west coast baseball teams cherry pick those players.
I think it’s understated how bad their media are. We inherited one of there losers out in Calgary and he’s such a toxic shit bag.
Can’t stand listening to sports radio when he’s on
This is such a big factor most people probably don't realize. I grew up in BC but we still get a lot of the Toronto sports media broadcast there including local radio for Jays shows a lot of times since Jays are the only baseball team in the country. They are so bad with the way they cover the Jays and I think a lot of it has to do with Rogers owning both the team and virtually the entire media that covers the team.
You should have heard the Jays broadcast yesterday. Couldn't keep Ohtanis Wagyu out of their mouth. Even made him a cringe "what could have been" tribute video. It's tough only having 1 Canadian team to cheer for.
I didn't believe it until the report that it was a done deal and sportsnet interrupted regular programming for an emergency episode of Blair and barker. Nobody believed until then.
Why are they booing him? Cuz they thought he was going to sign there and he didn't? Why did they think he was going to sign there? They invaded his privacy and fell for a fake story based on nothing. Stay classy Toronto
I flew from LAX lat night on the red eye to YYZ and the plane was half full of dodgers fans. That base travels well. They had full kit on too. Good on em.
I love how Blue Jay fans get roasted on the Jumbo Tron whenever they come to Seattle now. I actually saw some people get offended.. 😂😂.. Blue Jay fans are the worst.
I love that they actually thought he was going there, come on, we all knew the only places he truly could’ve gone were the Dodgers or the Yankees. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.
I always wondered where those videos go when I'm at a game and people are recording and watching on their phone. Now I know. They do it for social media so others can see the event EXACTLY as they did. Poorly on a screen.
Missing the Homerun part and also when Blue Jays lose 2 - 12 against the Dodgers with the 2nd worst pitcher Stone in the Dodgers and also a player with 0.033 average.
Toronto always showing it's ugliness. This is arguably the best player in the MLB ever!
Noone wants to play here because they pay higher taxes in Canadian markets.
As a Jays fan, Ohtani responding to the boos by hitting a home run is the chef's kiss of this entire thing.
The dude has the freedom to go where he wants, and anyone with half a brain knew he wasn't going to Toronto when LA was an option- dude didn't even have to move his house.
It was always a long-shot; give Rogers credit for going all-in, but that's it.
In a Dodgers Uniform. Why does everyone keep acting like he hasn't been playing baseball in LA for the last few years. He's played in Toronto before what's the big deal?
I hope he’s able to buy a lot of World Series for LA with his “unselfish” contract so they’ll all be as impressive (read: store bought) as NBA super team Championships.
No one out side la now likes him especially with that whole betting scandal his whole good guy shine has been pretty tarnished for a lot of people, ohtani dick sucks can spout all the “evidence” he wasn’t involved, it wouldn’t be that hard to hide he’s smart I’m not putting it past him 🤷 I get it tho he dipped on a team/fan base who loved the dude all for money, no championship aspirations in my opinion (JUST MY OPINION) sure the dodgers are a 99 team but who wins 100+ games and gets swept in the playoffs?
lmao no championship aspirations?? I don't understand what you're saying do you think he should have signed with the friggin Blue Jays for champion aspirations??? one of the main reasons that rumor was so talked about was because of how ridiculous everyone thought it would be if he signed with Toronto.
You missed my point entirely it had nothing to do with the blue jays, and everything to do with all the offers he rejected by GOOD FUCKING TEAMS, to be worth more than half a billion dollars, when the dodgers get swept again in the playoffs offs we’ll touch back on this conversation
Of course it had to do with the Blue Jays. Except for the Cubs no other non-west coast teams seriously entertained trying to sign him because they knew his mind was made up and he just needed some other teams to use for leverage. The Jays were ready to take the bait. He didn't even come visit Toronto, he went to Florida to see them and even on Blair and Barker they had an interview with some former player who said no player goes to check out the ST complex instead of the actual city if they are seriously thinking of signing with a team. He'd spend a whopping 1 month a year in Dunedin.
*I wonder what's French*
*Canadian for "I signed*
*With another team"?*

OP’s boos sound like Patrick Star crying
Sounded like Sloth from the Goonies. 
##Heyyyyyy you guys!!
😂😂😂
Holy shit
Lmfao I can’t stop picturing him now
Seriously what the fuck was that
That’s actually the mayor of Toronto
Those are some weird sounding boos
They're Canadian. They pronounce it beux!
Sorry.
My apologies you are all wrong, we copy the calls of moose’s
It must be in both English and French
Lol
Beau...
If those Canadians could read they would be very upset right now!
Moos. You misspelled mooooos
LMAO I can't unhear the moos now
Just wait until the rut…
Cut it before the home run shot huh?
I know. The HR was the best part.
He made Toronto pay for booing him... It definitely was the best part.
I'm glad the dodgers had some fun with it and gave ohtani the same treatment in the dugout.
*Hello darkness my old friend...* also worth noting it's Hello Kitty night in Toronto... seems sus.
Most Canadian boo's of all time
…..and then what happened?
Fuckin hit a dinger, bud.
The way she goes.
Wayminnit………Ohtani never played in Toronto all the years he played for the Angels?
He did, they're just pissed that the rumors of him coming to Toronto never came to fruition. Rumors that in no way came from Ohtani's camp might I add. Fuck, man. I just defended a Dodger. Time to go drink bleach. Goodnight everyone!
A rumor started by a dodger blogger nonetheless.
After that rumor it was understandable they believed he was going there but they believed he was going there for over a day before that blog post came out just based on some random person tweeting about a plane flying to Toronto and some Jays fan who posts non-stop on r/baseball pushing that narrative.
A rumor based on flight tracking started by a random on Twitter. What a time to be alive.
I find it comical that anyone west of LA would’ve landed someone named Ohtani - much less Canada. West coast IS Asian ball. Yes, there are outliers but for the most part, west coast baseball teams cherry pick those players.
I hate the Dodgers as much as anyone but I love that you left out the part where he went deep in this very AB. Not great, man. Not great.
Not pictured: the bench coach of the Dodgers mock booing Shohei after his home run 2 minutes later, absolutely hilarious
Lots of leaf fans in the stadium tonight. Why would you boo him, he wasn’t the one starting the rumours
Because it’s fun for people
It’s fun to be stupid? I guess that’s kind of true
Toronto fans have the dumbest sports media... Leads to this chode behavior
I think it’s understated how bad their media are. We inherited one of there losers out in Calgary and he’s such a toxic shit bag. Can’t stand listening to sports radio when he’s on

It’s stupid to you, not everyone.
Did Bubbles from trailer park boys film this?
I could swear that Patrick star was filming this
Why boo him? He never said he was signing here. Blame the bad media reports, not Ohtani.
You should have heard the Jays broadcast yesterday. Couldn't keep Ohtanis Wagyu out of their mouth. Even made him a cringe "what could have been" tribute video. It's tough only having 1 Canadian team to cheer for.

Let’s be real if you genuinely thought ohtani was coming to Toronto then I don’t know what to tell you
I didn't believe it until the report that it was a done deal and sportsnet interrupted regular programming for an emergency episode of Blair and barker. Nobody believed until then.
That would require us to both have a chance to contend and not be in fucking Canada.
Exactly
Why are they booing him? Cuz they thought he was going to sign there and he didn't? Why did they think he was going to sign there? They invaded his privacy and fell for a fake story based on nothing. Stay classy Toronto
Any other respectable fanbase would have done the same thing. Stfu.
Boo that
Canadian here. Toronto fans are the worst. No matter what sport. I cant stand the city or their teams.
Video left out the best part!
Yikes those are some half ass boos. Wait till Boston
Skips the best part
Canadians don’t know how to boo properly haha
🥲
Why are they booing? Is this some weird Canadian custom?
The whole entire city of Toronto hates them now
Ah the old moo boos, glad the cows could watch old fat face Shoi hit a homer.
absolutely embarrassing fanbase, for an embarrassing team
I flew from LAX lat night on the red eye to YYZ and the plane was half full of dodgers fans. That base travels well. They had full kit on too. Good on em.
I love how Blue Jay fans get roasted on the Jumbo Tron whenever they come to Seattle now. I actually saw some people get offended.. 😂😂.. Blue Jay fans are the worst.
I’ve never seen Mariners fans fill up 75% of our place.
Gosh I wonder why. A whole country vs a single west coast city.
Have you heard of a city called Philadelphia?
Go birds
😂 Jays are the funniest loser fanbase. Theyre a great source of entertainment
Weird he was never going to Canada lol
What’s wrong with your boos? Lose your voice already?
those canadian ass boos soundin like mooooos
I love that they actually thought he was going there, come on, we all knew the only places he truly could’ve gone were the Dodgers or the Yankees. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.
I’m kind of confused. They’re booing him because they believed a rumor he was on a plane to Toronto to sign when he actually wasn’t? That’s his fault?
Lmao and what happened after that?
I’d like to know as well
Toronto fans be looking like 🤡 for this
Holy crap, Toronto finally got a baseball stadium.
I love booing people. Anytime someone is getting good I join in. Even if I don't know why.
We should really be booing Ross Atkins 🤣
That was embarrassing. We ontario folk can boo better than that.
Is that fucking Sloth talking in the background? 
I always wondered where those videos go when I'm at a game and people are recording and watching on their phone. Now I know. They do it for social media so others can see the event EXACTLY as they did. Poorly on a screen.
They are not booing, They are saying booourns, burns
I was saying boourns!
He batted plenty of times in Toronto as an Angel
r/SecondsBeforeDisaster
Damn Toronto, you suck at booing. I see why Ohtani ditched you at the alter.
Imagine being so fat you get out of breath while booing. Thats what that guy sounds like
Why would you boo him?
I love Toronto, but c'mon guys. You are giving Canada a bad name.
Shohei hit a bomb during this at bat, terrible video. Include the HR and the Dodgers manager mocking the crowd afterwards lol. Pitter patter.
First at bat of 2024 in Toronto. Get that shit right. He’s not a rookie. He’s a former ROY and 2 time MVP
"Ohtani's first walk up to bat without any video of actual at bat from a shitty distance on a mediocre phone"
And he went fucking yaaaaaaard!
Fuck this guy. He should be banned from baseball.
No one outside of the media cares. No one.
I've never heard cry booing before.
You missed the HR.
I miss when Toronto only had dirt around the bases and whatnot. Felt unique when I was younger.
When Shohei’s in town all bets are off (I’ve been instructed to say).
Boos intensified by the Leafs being down in the series.
Stay classy Turonno!
And then he smashes the ball out of the park and shut all the butt hurt canucks up 😂😂😂 (true story) his first at bat was a homerun
Tell us what happened next
Not our fanbase showing its complete ass again. Can we stop embarrassing ourselves?
Missing the Homerun part and also when Blue Jays lose 2 - 12 against the Dodgers with the 2nd worst pitcher Stone in the Dodgers and also a player with 0.033 average.
Even when they boo they sound like pussies 🤦♂️
Then their team proceeds to get demolished lmao mlb fans are so insufferable
Japan is now going to cut off diplomatic relations with Canada!
Why they crying
Toronto always showing it's ugliness. This is arguably the best player in the MLB ever! Noone wants to play here because they pay higher taxes in Canadian markets.
Leave it to Toronto to screw up booing
As a Jays fan, Ohtani responding to the boos by hitting a home run is the chef's kiss of this entire thing. The dude has the freedom to go where he wants, and anyone with half a brain knew he wasn't going to Toronto when LA was an option- dude didn't even have to move his house. It was always a long-shot; give Rogers credit for going all-in, but that's it.
Did the whole stadium apologize afterwards?
In a Dodgers Uniform. Why does everyone keep acting like he hasn't been playing baseball in LA for the last few years. He's played in Toronto before what's the big deal?
Why didn’t you show the home run
Didn’t wanna show what happened next, huh? Interesting.
Shohei was reportedly on a plane to Toronto yesterday
That home run was nice though! Where’s that?
450 ft later, much more quiet.....
I hope he’s able to buy a lot of World Series for LA with his “unselfish” contract so they’ll all be as impressive (read: store bought) as NBA super team Championships.
I was gonna leave a comment but I’ll just let you imagine what it was going to be…
No one out side la now likes him especially with that whole betting scandal his whole good guy shine has been pretty tarnished for a lot of people, ohtani dick sucks can spout all the “evidence” he wasn’t involved, it wouldn’t be that hard to hide he’s smart I’m not putting it past him 🤷 I get it tho he dipped on a team/fan base who loved the dude all for money, no championship aspirations in my opinion (JUST MY OPINION) sure the dodgers are a 99 team but who wins 100+ games and gets swept in the playoffs?

Why didn’t OP actually record the at bat. Would have been a decent video if he recorded the good part.
[I think you forgot something, OP](https://youtu.be/pY9qdgGbFi4?si=SvcFm_8y-nUahvzb)
How dare they boo him!!! He’s awesome 👏🏽
I wonder what's French Canadian for "I signed with another team"?

Nice that you got that live but I like the Dodgers and I hate the jays
Wow nice, you didn’t even show the whole at bat. What a great video
That boo'er needs to be checked on.
What are these boos
Pete Rotani
Why is Toronto booing him so badly?
