Ohtani to Dodgers for an ungodly amount of money

[Stratos]

Is this wait worse than waiting for the Kris Bryant grievance decision and then COVID happened?

Yes. There was enough time between Morosi's post and Bob's that you'd have expected someone to post a re-tweet of a recent "best other free agents" article or something. Sharma, Mooney. Levine, Rogers...didn't even get a Dave Kaplan fit or something. It was nothing. 

Yep. Literally nothing.

Either nothing is going on… or they’re tight lipped for a reason. I’m huffing on hopium.

There is absolutely no vetting process in the media anymore. The only thing that matters is posting hot takes and guesses as fast as possible.

If you don't watch the news, you're uninformed.  If you watch the news, you're misinformed.  Being right is not important.  Being first is the only thing that matters.

Does anyone know that clusterfuck doesn’t get the horsefeathers treatment?

I'm waiting to hear what Mr. Wonderful has to say before sharing my opinion

We were like 20 minutes away from a Twitter account named ShaniaTwainshoohah17 claiming that Trudeau changed the Canadian national anthem to Oh Tanida

No doubt he is working on a pure royalty deal in perpetuity.

I respect Morosi for not taking the tweet down. Though, he may be headed to witness protection from jays fans at this point.

I just read through the last six hours of happenings. Beyond crazy.

Not as crazy as it’s going to be in the sushi restaurant when Yusei Kikuchi shows up with a Shohei Ohtani cosplayer.

Cubs haven’t made any moves. Cubs beat reporters haven’t spoken a word. I’m thinking they’re very much in this.

Yep. To be completely serious for a moment, the Cubs would still be involved in this. They would have offered a contract since that is how these things works and now they are one of the four or five teams waiting on Ohtani’s decision. 
 

I doubt they’ve had a change of heart.

I get your pessimism. I’m just saying just because we haven’t heard much on the Cubs being the favorites doesn’t mean they can’t seal the deal.

And we’re back to the silent hounds of the Baskervilles. 

[muntjack]

Mooney posted something generic and unrelated to Ohtani 10 hours ago.  With that exception, they (the Cubs beat writers) all went dark on Wednesday.  I can see taking a break after the winter meetings but other teams' guys are still tweeting....

It is December 9 in Japan.  So much for the Japanese day of luck.

To be fair it was already Dec 9 in Japan 8 hours ago when it first got brought up.
