"Blue Jays' best offer was in the same financial ballpark as the Dodgers. One source with knowledge of the talks said the Blue Jays were 'right there' with an offer described as very competitive."
But I wouldn't be surprised if someone with Otani's management team planted the story of him signing with the Jays to push the Dodgers to bump up their offer. I also wouldn't be surprised to find out the extra $100 million (or however much the Dodgers raised their offer) is the amount they are deferring.
