In the latest twist of the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes, there’s now flight drama.

Just over an hour after MLB Network reported that Ohtani was “en route” to Toronto on Friday, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed that the two-way superstar, in fact, hasn’t left California.

“Shohei Ohtani is NOT in Toronto,” USA Today’s Bob Nightengale first reported in a post on X. “Ohtani is NOT on a flight to Toronto. Ohtani is at home in Southern California.”

When MLB Network reported that Ohtani was traveling to Toronto on Friday, where he’d conceivably meet with the Blue Jays for the second time this week, the network cautioned that it didn’t mean he was any closer to signing a contract — with the Blue Jays, or any other of his suitors — and hadn’t signed anything as of 4:01 p.m.

A representative from Ohtani’s agency — CAA, where he works with agent Nez Balelo — also declined comment to MLB Network.

So the wait for Ohtani’s decision, and now the search for his next flight, continues, with the designated hitter and pitcher set to potentially ink a deal worth $600 million.

He’s the two-time AL MVP, who won the award again in 2023 after slugging 44 homers and logging a 1.066 OPS, and he also went 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA across 23 starts before getting shut down from pitching and undergoing an elbow procedure — which will prevent him from pitching in 2024 — in September.

The late-season injury, though, hasn’t extinguished the anticipation behind his free-agency decision.

The Blue Jays, Cubs, Dodgers, Giants and Angels were all viewed as possible options for Ohtani, who announced his decision to sign with the Angels six years ago Friday.

Earlier this week, the Blue Jays met with Ohtani at their spring training facility in Dunedin, Florida, and it made them a serious contender to land the two-way superstar.

MLB Network reported earlier in the day Ohtani’s selection could be “imminent.”
