Yankees Sign Masahiro Tanaka

[SouthSideRyan]

Who the hell is that Julie? I'm guessing Kyle was being sarcastic? I don't wanna get excited til Kyle is legitimately excited.

 

She's a Chicago reporter. I can't remember where now, but she's been all over the place.

 

I'm legit excited, but probably prematurely.

 

She's also the only media member to follow @PoorTomRicketts

Tanaka update: Apparently, 1 team that was considered a favorite completely BOMBED meeting w him/reps. Came in 'unprepared', 'unorganized'

lolwut

 

Sounds like something Ned Colletti would do

 

Instantly my first thought. They'll just pay him 250M now to make up for it.

Colletti would have just walked in with his wiener hanging out

This is strange how quickly everyone thinks the Cubs are getting him and nobody from the Cubs are denying the rumors..

Your posts are becoming about as repetitive as B2B.

Ouch.

That Ty guy is not very accurate. He just throws a bunch of stuff against the wall and hopes some of it sticks. This off season he batting about .000. I've seen people say that he has been correct before but his average is in Neifi Perez/Darwin Barney land.

If he says two teams are talking about a trade and it doesn't happen, that doesn't mean he was wrong.

On Twitter Shawn Ryan (creator of the Shield and Chicago sports fan) just offered Tanaka's wife a role on a show if Tanaka signs with the Cubs

[Boris]

YES

He needs to sell HER on the future plan too, he's got nothing current.

On the one hand, we're getting him.

 

On the other hand, it'd be pretty funny if the news broke that we weren't right in the middle of Cubs Convention.

[CubsWin]

This is going to end in heartbreak. Sorry folks, you all like a team that I also like. There will doubtless be some weird change of fortunes just as we think we have him. "Tanaka was on the plane to Chicago to sign contract and weather made the plane land in Denver and he thought his girlfriend would like to go to high school there so he signed with Colorado."

 

 

Thank you for that.

 

Maybe Casey Close sets the deadline for final offers and the Yankees have the highest bid. But with a minute and 16 seconds left, the Cubs come in and match it. But realizing they need to do more, 17 seconds later, they up the offer and the clock runs out before the Yankees know what hit them.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to not view ABTY as that legit of a source for rumors. He hasn't had much success at all.
