Please say this is a joke. I hope it is but this dude is not a troll and lives in Boston. That said, it's going against Edes tweet right now. This is insane.
Guys and gals: So I flipped over to WSI and there is a dude called: "fenway" who posts there. He lives in Boston and he just posted that WBZ-FM just was told by KNBR that they have heard Ricketts has contacted Oakland to speak to Beane. Again, this is from a guy who lives in Boston and is listening to the station. It was Posted 5 min ago. I might puke. He also said this:
Yeah, it's been posted 3 times, but it's still very confusing. What's done? Hoyer? Or Theo? Or both? In a surprise move, the Cubs have actually taken every other club's GM and formed a college of GMs. I like this.
This is [expletive] phrasing... is he reporting that Hoyer to Chicago is a green light as soon as the Theo deal is done or that Theo to Chicago is a green light and as a result Hoyer is as well? NO, DONE! Score just commented on it as well.
Epstein reports rankle Red Sox owner: http://www.wgntv.com/sports/chi-epstein-signing-will-be-made-official-on-friday-20111020,0,5161131.story Wouldn't it be Kaplan-esque for this to happen because of Kaps tweets?
This could be right on the money. Selig has said he does not want major annoucements to interfere with the post season/World series. Think about this: Why in the world would all these "excellent sources" tell all the media outlets that the deal is basically done and that a presser is scheduled for tomorrow if they did not have the goods on it? There's a ton of credibility to be lost if you come out and say it's done only to have it to not be the case. There's been too many reports with regards to compensation, etc. for this to be just smoke.
Pretty sure if it drags on much longer, Selig will get involved and tell Henry to go scratch. I have never seen such madness from one team over a guy they do not want.
