Kaplan really never breaks anything and doesn’t seem to have any real great sources though, right?

If he is legit reporting this, it makes sense that some guy with an inside source like wet butt would leak this out before the Cubs want the news out there, which would be why all the beat guys quickly got the same message from their legitimate sources denying it.

 

Or maybe I'm grasping at straws

that’s like saying message boards are awful just because you post here

[ScrubMD]

Well, when Trump calls something fake news, it usually means he just doesn't like the story.

 

Maybe Yu did sign but isn't happy about it.

If nothing else, it made today more entertaining

ZINGER!

 

And my comment was less about Carl's specific nonsense and more about how someone like Carl causes a domino effect of writers and front office types having to respond to nonsense in real time, which is a giant waste of energy

Is it a HIPPA violation if he just tells him where he’s signing and doesn’t say/share anything about Yu medically? I mean at best it’s still a morally/ethically stupid thing to do as the doctor and likely will cost him being used in the future by the Cubs, if true.
