still waiting for Brooks to release Munetaka's Room

a culture of shame misaligned with Japan’s competitive integrity Chicagoan's too to be fair.

If they sign Imai, do we get a Tokyo crosstown series in 2027?

Jerry’s reputation precedes him

This is an attention to detail that is special.

I believe you are combining the names of two separate but reliable sources. It was KatyPerrysBootyHole and wetbutt23. Butt yes, they were both legendary sources.

What does KatyPerryswetbootyhole have to say about this. That is the source we can trust.

I didn't mean Robert specifically, I just meant I don't get how teams balk at including money in a trade if they're just going to pay him that money anyways if they don't trade them. I don't even know if that's even true in this case, but if it was like I said it makes no sense.

I also, have an idiot friend who kept accusing the Brewers of cheating the last about 3 months (and post season) of the year.

Surprised he’s still not whining about the Brewers getting lucky every single inning

Maybe Scott has a thing for authenticity.

Can he just not go to the Cubs so we can watch the crashout unfold please?

They wouldn’t conspire with him.

Exactly. If this report came from Heyman or some other reporter from the states, I would buy the Boras angle more.

But why would "Boras using the White Sox for leverage" come via Japanese media rather than more typical stateside sources?

Unless Boras is conspiring with the Japanese media, I’m not sure what the Yahoo Sports Japan has to gain by lying about the White Sox being interested in Imai.

The White Sox made news weeks ago that they were starting to scout Japan more extensively than ever before and just recently landed the top bat from Japan. Why wouldn’t it make sense to use the White Sox as leverage in trying to juice up a final contract for Imai? This is Boras we are talking about. He plays these games all the time.

Ramos is almost certainly getting DFAed or traded before OD. He may be able to sneak through waivers though. Mead I think would get claimed because he is major ready. I view Murray morning as more of a “next man up” type who starts the year in AAA and gets a call up in the event of injury.

He was a character alright. The fact that he's still doing the "fake insider" thing after a half decade is hilarious.

He was unwell. He needed a colonoscopy from all of those cheesy beefs blocking him up.

I think Tanner Murray makes Mead and Ramos superfluous. Dude has options and plays all 3 positions well.

His fame and the interest that comes with him far exceeded his salary. Normally I would agree, but these weren’t ordinary circumstances.

The Sox had a live press conference for the signing of a player to a 2-year, $34 million dollar deal. They were likely playing to the Japanese market but just put it into perspective compared to when other teams do this for big signings.

Was he? He was pretending to be Al’s Cheesy Beef and seemed unwell.
