He got suspended. We're up to Legit__Reporter, and he's on his last legs.

Welp, no matter if he is on the Cubs or not, I already have a nickname for his splitfinger:

I've been told that the deal is done. Announcement pending. Please don't ask what team I do not know.

 

I'll give it to creepy looking bald club guy, he stuck that out til the bitter end.

Actual legit news... Diamondbacks are out of the race, per their reporter on their MLB.com site

 

 

Baseball Source: #Dbacks no longer in running for Tanaka. Story soon on http://dbacks.com .

 

 

Not sure where Tanaka is headed, just know that the #Dbacks are no longer in the running.

Well that certainly doesn't hurt things.

The main thing I like about that is that we haven't heard the Cubs are out of it yet

[ConstableRabbit]

Given teams wanting to avoid a Dempster situation, is it safe to assume that news won't come out until Tanaka is awake? I'd have to imagine that he'd want to give a final sign-off.

[Banedon]

It may not come out till he passes his physical or whatever technicalities need to happen.

Well nevermind then. God damnit.

[Vanilla Ice]

Lol

[ctcf]

Well that totally blows.

[nolanwood]

Puke.

[davell]

We are going to SUCK

[USSoccer]

But at least we tried.

 

And failed.

 

Again.

[davell]

And Loxas' [expletive] reaction is to pat himself on the back, saying Cubs offer of 160 must not have been off.

I can only imagine how much furniture they'll have to replace in Theo's office this time.

[pitchcs]

That's a whole lotta cash

[ConstableRabbit]

So do we go after one of the bigger FA SPs, or are we done?

I'm sure we'll come up *just* short again there too, so whats the point?

[pitchcs]

I wanted Tanaka, but after seeing the final numbers I have a feeling we aren't gonna be that disappointed in a few years.

The real answer is probably neither, depending on what you mean by done.

 

They'll probably sign some mid-lower level guy but not Garza/Ubaldo/etc.

Here's to the next Chien-Ming Wang
