Masahiro Tanaka come to Chicago my friend. Cubs have the best uniforms. Think about that when you make your decision. It's important.

 

God I love that man

 

Seriously. The dude is awesome.

I can confirm Tanaka's Wife's agency has reached out to Shawn Ryan regarding his Twitter offer.

 

Seriously?

Is Neuby the guy who works/worked in TV?

Does he keep think onion gravy in his car for lunch?

Yes seriously. It could be her agency doing due diligence but they have indeed at least inquired about the offer. At the same time if her agency didn't reach out after the offer was made she should be seeking new representation.

WELL WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT

[Neuby]

I have no details on the conversation. Just that the two sides have spoken in the last few days at least once.

@sahadevsharma: Not sure if Cubs lead for Tanaka, but numbers I'm hearing have me convinced payroll will be raising to big market levels over next few years

 

@sahadevsharma: It's likely FO is confident renovation and/or TV deal will happen, allowing them to feel safe that Tanaka won't be a one-time big FA spend

 

@sahadevsharma: I know Cubs fans won't be satisfied unless they get Tanaka, but just the willingness to spend so much on him is a great sign for the future

Did I miss something? What is her agency and what was the twitter promise?

[NOLA]

This type of stuff is message board gold.

No clue about her agency, but Shawn Ryan(The Shield) prmised her a role in his next show, via Twitter, if Tanaka goes to the Cubs.

so, if he doesn't come to the Cubs, he's standing in the way of her career.

 

at the same time, with the money he'd get from the Cubs, he could buy and sell Ryan.

ok...

I'm dreading this. All the false reports of Rakuten deciding to post him or not, I'm wondering how many false "he signed with (blank)" we get, before we get the truth.

 

Can't keep your eyes off it even though you know 75% of it is very likely nonsense

 

I know how you feel :)

Levine: Cubs May Be In Lead For Tanaka

 

I get a kick out of him putting in the word "may" in the headline.

if Tanaka is Shinto, he'll most certainly believe in curses.

Beware reports suggesting Cubs have high offer on table for Tanaka or that he's favoring Cubs. Multiple sources say Cubs remain long shots.

 

Annnnd I'm soft. (Can white people talk about their non erect members?)

You shouldn't let gdub kill your vibe

 

there are numerous good reports that have come out more recently than that one anyway. catch up more.

This is the kind of stuff that will be hilarious to look back on when the Cubs don't get him.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

"G-Dub" is a professional troll.

[davell]

I can't put much thought into the Shawn Ryan stuff honestly. You don't think the Dodgers or Yankees have fans with the ability to do the same thing? And if this is important, you don't think they'd make those calls?

 

We may get Tanaka somehow, but it's not going to be because of a promise to get his wife on a TV show.

Definitely in the hunt but a long shot like the Cubs. "@Shane_Riordan: @thekapman Any Sox-related Masahiro insight?"

If I were to read anything into it (which I'm not, really), it wouldn't be that it might help get him here. It would be that he's seriously considering coming here.
