TWITTER/BARSTOOL RUMOR - Trade involving player w/NTC decision

[Guest]

You'd think but I've seen it happen many times honestly between the Cubs boards, blogs, and Twitter over the years. People come to NSBB. I come here pretty much daily and have just 105 posts in a dozen years for example.

 

The takeaway is less 'random internet guy will never read this' and more 'you shouldn't really care if random internet guy reads this'.

Didn't Kyle have one of these once?

Yes. Did it involve the Pearl Jam guy and Lester?

 

I think it was the imminent TV deal that never happened.

This has been going on for too long for it not to register with MLBTR, BN, or even any of the fan blogs. If there was even the slightest hint of smoke regarding a big time trade, this Carl fellow would not be the only one posting it.

 

I heard that Carl was wearing a purple fanta shirt and saw Hamels at a Starbucks in Lincoln Park.

 

and he knows papelbon's father in law

 

Until Papelbon's spotted at a Wrigleyville bar singing Go Cubs Go, it's all lies.

do the rules regarding the sanctity of PMs apply to DMs also?

 

DMs can be regulated via medication, diet, and excercise. PMs is just something you have to wait out, I'm afraid.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I've followed him for a bit and he doesn't seem like the type to totally make something up (say what you want about Barstool of course).

 

And then he went out of his way to DM me some details (I had simply asked "any clues besides a big trade?") in reply to his initial tweet. I'll just say if he's completely making it up he's doing a solid job. I think he really may be hearing these things... but it may not be as concrete as his initial tweet made it seem.

 

But I guess we'll see if something (and possibly two things from what he's claiming to be hearing... Although I myself would think one may depend on whether or not the other move happens) happen in the next few days. He seemed pretty confident in what he told me and seems to think only a ntc along with the draft has been the hold-up for the trade.

 

Maybe he is indeed throwing poo against the wall, maybe the info he's getting isn't that reliable, but I'm at least keeping in mind what he told me and going to see if any of it happens soon. So we'll see.

 

Maybe he's a guy with a fan blog trying to generate clicks.

Clapp you're not Matt Clapp on Twitter are you?

[HendryWallet]

If it was somehting involving Hamels, I doubt he would have thrown 120 pitches yesterday

Ha yep the Fox TV deal stuff. I also heard that one from Youngfelt and watched you guys force it out of Kyle after several pages on here.

 

The only reason I posted in response to this topic is I honestly do think Carl heard some things and from someone he really does consider reliable. Take it all with a grain of salt, believe what you want, etc, etc. Just pointing out that I don't think this is your typical hot stove hot garbage Twitter rumor starting.

I am. Hopefully that's not disappointing news but don't worry I won't hate.

I'm sure he's Matt Clapp outside of Twitter too.

Carl's intel goes beyond that of Amaro.

Yep, Pearl Jam guy was out in the open on this board, and nailed it the whole time.

I didn't think that was right but I was drawing a blank. Yeah, the "big" TV deal was definitely it. Kyle was so secretive and he annoyed the whole board (imagine that).

My sources tell me that brian Roberts just has to pass his physical then it will be announced

[sontensei]

lol @ brian roberts

[Tyrant]

he probably does have some info. he has a decent twitter presence - for whatever that's worth - and there's no reason be so adamant about something he made up.
