"A little inside baseball," Rogers said on ESPN Chicago on Tuesday. "Jed spoke with reporters a few minutes ago. As he's walking toward the group, he runs into Bob Nightengale and there were some stern words exchanged. Stern words exchanged. Don't know what was said."
Nightingale first tweeted around 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday: "The Chicago Cubs' optimism of landing Shohei Ohtani has now significantly waned, one high-ranking executive said, leaving the LA Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Giants as the likely finalists."
Hoyer shot down Nightengale's report after the "stake-in-the-ground line about the Cubs."
