  1. The game is on CSN+ http://www.csnchicago.com/zipcode
  2. I'm not so sure it's rehashed. The article posted tonight claims word out of the Dominican is the Cubs have signed Soler for about $27.M over 3 or 4 years. The Suntimes also posted a rare evening Cubs article citing Miami sources with a similar dollar value.
  3. I think Sullivan's right. Kerry's people used the media (Kaplan) as leverage in the negotiations; After saying "Cubs or retire," at the end of the season, there was none. The threat that he'd leave was a smokescreen. Nice recovery.
  4. Marlin was right. His insider status is legit.
  5. Random Twitter rumors have something happening sooner rather than later: Apparently, the players rumored to be involved are from Bruce Levine's chat: The idea that those players are an actual "package" for Garza is probably a stretch but one can dream...
  6. Passan says Rangers The Texas Rangers have won the posting auction of Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish with a record $51.7M bid, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.
  7. That's not exactly going out on a limb. network dedicated to baseball coverage will report on who won the bid... shocking Again, it wasn't to prove anything about him... Personally, I'm not watching MLB Network. I'm following online only.
  8. A daring prediction That wasn't to prove his knowledge that was just to remind people to tune in.
  9. @Jim_Duquette Heard from baseball official in Japan, bid was less than 53 mil being rumored.
  10. FYI, that Gray guy claims something is coming up on MLB Network.
  11. I don't thin Bowden knows anything and he's certainly not breaking news with that tweet but it's curious he said "US" team... I surely would not assume that Jim Bowden knows that Toronto is not in the U.S. Sarcasm aside, he was posting incorrect info about the process earlier today. Saying Nippon (along with Japanese League and Commissioner's office) knew the identity of top bidding team...
  12. I don't thin Bowden knows anything and he's certainly not breaking news with that tweet but it's curious he said "US" team...
  13. Well, he's a lesser known sportswriter... Sounds like some fringey wannabe who is hoping that if he tweets it right before it happens, it'll seem like he had inside info and he'll gain lots of followers. Probably. I never heard of him until I saw someone else post his stuff on another board.
  14. Well, he's a lesser known sportswriter...
  15. Link? I was looking at Graymatter's twitter. He claims to have Blue Jays insider knowledge.
  16. Looks like Blue Jays won the bid.
  17. Speculation on PSD is Cubs won Darvish. Nothing more to back it up... Oh yeah, someone posted a story supposedly by Levine but I don't see it online. Looks like BS. As suspected
  18. If the Cubs win it, that would really come out of nowhere and I would feel much better about the direction of the team. Do they ever release the bid information from the non winning teams? I don't think so. It might leak out eventually but it isn't officially released to the best of my memory.
  19. ChiTribRogers Phil Rogers Agree with @DKnobler that Yu Darvish reporting is heavier on speculation than information. #Cubs are more interested than the public view. Now even Roger's is trying to give the Cubs some last minute love...
  20. We don't know what their bid for Darvish was and unless they win we may never know. Also, I'm glad the Cubs didn't offer anything near the 10 years and $250M+ he received. I don't have issue with what they've done thus far... The organization needs an entire overhaul and it isn't realistic to think it will happen in one offseason.
  21. My only concern is can he pass a drug test (certainly wouldn't want to invest in the guy and he gets popped for a 50 game suspension)? If so, sign him up.
