In fact, the only two remaining non-West Coast teams to still be in the running – according to Bleacher Nation – are The Cubs and Rangers. And according to Grant, they each will be getting in a room with Ohtani next week.
Hearing Rangers, Cubs are only 2 non-West Coast teams on Ohtani's meeting list. Rangers not saying a word.

The meetings – according to more reports being tweeted away on Twitter – heavily suggest Ohtani plus his camp will be meeting with the “finalists” at some point this upcoming week in L.A.
Keep in mind he does have until December 22nd to sign.

It is still up in the air if the Dodgers or Angles will get meetings too but we so shall see in the few weeks to come.
But until Dec. 22nd – it sounds like Chicago has a fighting chance – and us Cubbies may be more excited for this than Christmas.
