Toronto greets Shohei Ohtani with loud boos after free agency snafu, Ohtani responds with HR

It appears Toronto Blue Jays fans aren't quite over being spurned by Shohei Ohtani. It also appears Ohtani doesn't care.

Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers visited Toronto on Friday, only a few months after the most confusing day of last year's MLB offseason. Long story short, Ohtani was widely speculated — and at one point, directly reported — to be on a jet headed to Canada with plans to sign with the Blue Jays on Dec. 9. And then it turned out he wasn't. And then he signed with the Dodgers.

Many wondered how Ohtani would be received in the city that was once eagerly awaiting his arrival.
