MLB Network reporter Jon Morosi issued an apology late Friday night for reporting inaccurate information regarding Shohei Ohtani’s free agency.
“Today, I posted reporting that included inaccurate information that Shohei Ohtani was traveling to Toronto,” Morosi wrote on social media. “I regret the mistake and apologize to baseball fans everywhere. I am deeply sorry for letting you down.”
Morosi reported Friday morning that Ohtani was close to making a decision on where he will sign and that his signing later that day was a distinct possibility. He added that the Blue Jays were a finalist for the two-way superstar, sparking speculation that Ohtani was close to signing with Toronto.
