"Arrr! Methinks 'Shark Tank' matey Robert Herjavec jests at Shohei Ohtani rumors, after his viral voyage! Har, har!"
2023-12-09
Arr! 'Twas not the legendary Shohei Ohtani who took to the skies from Anaheim to Toronto on Friday, but rather the Canadian buccaneer and "Shark Tank" matey, Robert Hervajec. Aye, the winds of destiny do play tricks on our hearts!
In a hilarious turn of events, it was discovered that the plane people believed Shohei Ohtani was on was actually occupied by a shark from the TV show "Shark Tank." The confusion arose when internet users found out that a plane was heading from Anaheim to Toronto, leading them to believe that Ohtani's free agency decision was imminent. Thousands of people eagerly tracked the flight, eagerly anticipating Ohtani's arrival in Toronto. However, it turned out to be all internet speculation until an MLB report confirmed that Ohtani was indeed en route to Toronto. But the report was quickly dismissed by both USA Today and the New York Post, who claimed that Ohtani was actually still in southern California. The confusion reached its peak when the plane finally landed in Toronto, and Ohtani was nowhere to be found. As it turns out, it was Canadian businessman Robert Herjavec from "Shark Tank" who was aboard the plane. Herjavec quickly became the subject of jokes, but he played along with it, even posting a photoshopped picture of himself in a Blue Jays uniform on Instagram. MLB Network eventually acknowledged that their initial report was inaccurate, and it was revealed that Ohtani had signed a record-breaking 10-year, $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This deal far surpassed any previous records in North American sports, including Patrick Mahomes' $450 million contract and Ohtani's former teammate Mike Trout's $426 million deal.
