Yankees Sign Masahiro Tanaka

[SouthSideRyan]

Kyle did say he'd spill the whole thing if it didn't get announced today.

3 hours from now, local news will be done and the opening night of the convention will be complete, so clock's tickin' Kyle...

The fate of your request now depends on how good Kyle's date goes.

One source thinks the Cubs will go as high as $25-26 million per year, and up to seven years. Others think the Cubs have only the New York Yankees to worry about -- and they’re a big concern. A Tanaka signing would immediately change the narrative for the Cubs.

i'm starting to think the cubs are the leaders.

[ChiCubsFan]

Why did the White Sox even bother trying?

If 7/$182 doesn't get it done, then screw baseball.

If that type of deal is offered and he goes elsewhere, then I can't get even get mad at Theo and company.

[Redfoot]

Including the posting fee that's $200M+. Insanity.

Nooooooooooooope. I'll tell you what that is:

 

[MSG T]

So, is 7/$180 considered [expletive] you money? If so, I like it.

[Soul]

That kind of money brings with it an enormous risk, as well.

Boooooooooooo

Sure, but if you got a billion dollar TV deal on the horizon why not?

And how will you know whether it was really offered or not? Theo sure as hell won't tell you.

It's not funny, believe me! The girl of my dreams lives under my own roof, but she thinks I'm just a kid, a dumb jock, all of which is more or less true. I'm dying, Mr. Tanneran, just like that girl in the poem... only quicker, and with a hard-on.

From Bruce Levine's Twitter:

 

Wake up tweeters! Cubs made Tanaka a real offer to be there ace and grow with their other talented young players.

I see people making a huge fuss about this on Twitter. Why is this news - did we think they wouldn't make an offer?

 

Levine tweeted "Living near and being a part of the Japanese-American community is a key element for Tanaka and his wife" three minutes later, BTW. That's not news either, but it's probably a lot more relevant.
