"Hideo Nomo’s son is Ohtani’s translator. Nomo works in padres front office. Ohtani’s old trainer is head of sports medicine for Padres. Ohtani’s agent is from a city within San Diego (Point Loma).”

But, don't count out Theo, from David Kaplan: MLB executive just told me that Theo and Jed are pulling out all of the stops to impress Ohtani. “Theo and Jed are being incredibly creative with their pitch. They’ve thought of everything. And I mean everything. Still going to be tough to land him but they are in there hard.”

It's been stated that it's down to Seattle and SF.

In other news, as much as i despise Girardi, i think i'd rather have him back! Hiring someone with ZERO coaching experience at arguably one of the toughest jobs in baseball seems very silly to me.
