  1. $700m. Holy horsefeathers.
  2. Yeah, I've given up thinking Charles has any information.
  3. I will say this: I find this to be a compelling thing. Perhaps everyone is too scared to talk with how bad Jon Morosi looks right now, or just in deference to not having information, but even when local Toronto guys were jumping in on the Ohtani thing, Chicago sat quiet. It's been a weird reaction. I I'd have expected someone to have a reaction to all that talk, even retweeting their previous articles of other plans for the offseason but the silence was noticeable.
  4. Could be. With Ohtani, I would be floored if anyone in gambling was hearing anything, however. This is arguably the most secretive FA recruitment we've ever seen, especially in social media world. My guess is that he got lucky on Judge and this isn't the only time he had jumped at something hours before, but misses 95% of the time. That's usually what these accounts do. Incarcerated Bob was another one of these accounts. With that said, he did surprise me when I saw the tweet wasn't a photoshop job, so I'll give him that. Perhaps CJ is just on it. But I think it'll likely be "in spite of" as opposed to "he knew" even if we sign him. But it's fun to think he's got a line here.
  5. Yeah, I'd guess this guy is full of it. Probably got lucky on Judge, more than assuredly.
  6. Listen, credit to Golson on this: I have been scouring twitter assuming (because he was using screen grabs mostly) that his tweet about Judge was doctored/photoshopped to make it look like he called it when he didn't. But twitter advanced search finds this: Which is the original tweet. Hours before Morosi and Rosenthal. I don't know what this guy does or doesn't know. I'm not claiming him to be real. But I was surprised that.
  7. 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.
  8. Yeah, I don't think anyone can whine and complain that the Ohtani signing wasn't a spectacle and a showcase for the sport any more.
  9. This is a really good point.
  10. He's had a really rough offseason. He's said some really bonkers horsefeathers.
  11. I was the kid who mouthed all the words and pretended to sing during the elementary school concerts so I can't be held accountable for my lack of tune.
  12. I was thinking Oh Oh It's Magic. You know! You did. TT, you're a savant.
  13. Listen, if he pulls this one off, I'll go streaking.
  14. Ironically, a song that goes "You Know" directly afterwards. Except no one knows. Except Nightengale. This is weird.
  15. I like to think that Ohtani was just about to touchdown in Toronto to sign his contract, saw the Morosi tweet, grabbed the yoke of the play, physically took over the flight and then decided that he won't sign now because it leaked.
  16. Listen, it's rare we see a Bowden+Nightengale joint. Are they right? Have they combined to be extra-wrong? Are they sharing enough brain cells that journalistically they're right?
  17. Bob hasn't tweeted pure nonsense in a few hours. Let him go back into his cave.
  18. Frankly I hope he keeps getting opt-outs after one year and this can be MLB's off-season kickoff. Every year we huddle around twitter creepin' on Ohtani's travels to figure out which MLB franchise he signs with this time. Spoiler alert, every year the Dodgers are the favorite and he never picks them. Hard Knocks can eat their heart out. Sho-Time is here to stay. Coming soon to STARZ.
  19. Cant wait for him to have an opt-out after 2 years and we can do this all again soon.
  20. Dodgers guy seemed like he was right, too.
