If I were Shohei I'd hire a half dozen body doubles to send all over the place and also charter private flights with no one on them

If I were Shohei I'd sign with the Twins on the condition that they rebuilt the Metrodome, but with the Tokyodome spec. That way they'd have somewhere to play in the cold of the postseason.

I'd also tell everyone the secret to my Great Power this whole time was lefse and hotdish.

Someone with a bit of pilot expertise so I will tell you that while there certainly could be a chance that this flight is carrying (1) Shohei Ohtani to Toronto you should consider the following:

1) Very often these planes fly totally empty to reposition the planes to another airport to pickup a customer (say someone flying from Toronto to the Caribbean for winter) you can actually buy spots on these empty deadhead flights!

2) Most of these companies who actually are big enough to own these planes (Rogers) have their tracking scrubbed from these trackers specifically so executives and staff and their families can travel anonymously.

Elon Musk can't seem to get his flights scrubbed and it caused somebody who was like 19 to really freak him out. This plane is owned by some outfit in Utah and registered in the US, so any stop it makes in Canada it has to turn around and leave the country again on it's next trip out. I'd guess most planes Rogers has are registered in Canada so they can travel between major Canadian cities, but what do I know.

All our heaters run off natural gas, it costs 30c to heat my home for the whole "winter". Heating oil is where you get into the big bills (hint hint Mr Ohtani)

That's easy, Elon Musk is a complete dumbass. Most corporations do this quite easily, and even people! N707JT, John Travolta's Qantas 707, is not able to be tracked.

If Shohei does sign with Toronto, I wonder how furious MLB is that their best/most marketable player is now in Canada? The reverse McDavid




This does suck, but Canada is far superior to the US so I think they come out ahead in the end

It is the whitest thing imaginable down to being called "Taco Johns"

I remember liking it though, I've since stopped eating meat so the last time I got it was just the potato 'oles on my drive to Thanksgiving a few years back.
