Toronto's an attractive place to play. International city, big market. I am just surprised that Rogers is ready to splash that cash. I guess last year, when they were sort of cutting payroll, it was to make this run at Ohtani.

That's the biggest issue. One Canadian dollar is roughly worth seventy-two cents USD.

I tend to think that if maximizing his contract is his biggest concern, some US team will come through with half a billy for him.

Taxes are higher in Canada, too (for good reasons), so if he wants to limit taxation, playing half his games in a state with little or even no state tax (WA, FL, for the latter as an example) will matter.

But even so, it doesn't hurt to visit, especially if they're actually offering 816M Canadian (which is actually about 600M USD).

Between Japanese taxes and California taxes, I don't think he cares too much.

I’m pretty sure Ohtani will set up residence in Florida or Texas to avoid paying most Toronto and Ontario taxes

MLB players in Canada are paid in in US dollars FYI
