QUOTE (dayan024 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 04:46 PM) Dodgers Nation ‏@DodgersNation 50s Wayne Graczyk of the Japan Times says on @MLBNetworkRadio he doesn't think Tanaka will necessarily take the highest bid. Thats what I asked someone to listen to. I knew something would come out of it!

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 04:42 PM) Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 5h Tanaka derby nearing finish line.. #Cubs, #Dbacks, #WhiteSox, #Yankees among those seriously pursuing the right-hander. 5h? Thanks for the false hope!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) LOL. Either everyone but one person is wrong or everyone reporting this stuff is just guessing. You pick. And does anyone think "White sox" when someone says "Chicago put up a big offer?" Maybe thats their problem. And does anyone think "Mets" when someone says "New York put up a big offer?" The White Sox and the Mets- daily victims of misconception.

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 04:37 PM) Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 2m Asked 2 agents where they think Tanaka will go. 1) Yankees, Cubs or Dodgers. 2) Yankees, Dodgers or Blue Jays. #speculation Blue Jays???!!!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 04:12 PM) I think that Hahns next move is to play "99 Problems" on his itouch 99 problems but pitching ain't one

Someone cover it please! JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm 1m Coming up on our show Wayne Graczyk from Japan Times with latest on Masahiro Tanaka Sirius 209 XM 89

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 04:15 PM) Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 12m Team exec over the weekend cautioned to me that offers are constantly changing in a sweepstakes as intense as Tanaka. Be mindful of that. Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 7m Re: Tanaka...have heard his agent and team execs involved keeping especially tight seal on talks. Lots of reporting seems to be speculation Could we be strengthening our offer? I feel like he's referring to NYY, CHC and LAD in that first tweet.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) I keep coming to this bumped thread for Tanaka news, and then I go home disappointed. Come back! There's news!

Once I was part of a marching band. We wore these really cool wristbands. A long, narrow band of cloud was above us. Doors are banded with iron to make them stronger, but the marching band is stronger than those doors. Oh and there was a band of caribou. Hope I don't get banned! (I found 8 different definitions for band and used as many as I could)

Please. This is not even close to WSI

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 03:49 PM) Now would be a great time for an update from bucket. It would be but sadly he's not reading the thread

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 03:45 PM) Pretty sure Soxtalk rumors have made it onto Chicago Radio Shows too, and all we do is talk about My Little Ponies and penises, so there. Can't tell if sarcasm or not

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 03:37 PM) Good grief what is with you today? FT35 simply said the tweet was mentioned on Waddle and Silvy, nothing more, no defending. Have a beer and lighten up. Replace beer with snickers. :

QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 03:08 PM) Mark Gonzales is going to be on MLB Hot Stove to discuss both Chicago teams. I'll let you know what he says. yes please do

My twitter just blew up with "BREAKING NEWS! Tanaka officially choosing betweens #Cubbies and #Yanks" LOXAS!!!!!!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) For those with little background on Loxas, here is what one poster on NorthSideBaseball said regarding his recent tweet that it was down to the Cubs & Yankees: On top of that, he reported a Cubs-Blue Jays trade involving Shark was "close" to happening in November and even knew what the Sox would require from the Cubs to trade Sale as if he listened in on some actual trade discussions. Apparently, this blogger has sources throughout the MLB, in multiple sports, and even across the Pacific Ocean! How does this guy have a job...

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) This one is just for you Whitesoxfan: https://mobile.twitter.com/TomLoxas/status/...357433561546752 This Loxas guy is so annoying

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) "You know, I didn't decide until this morning. I'm taking my talents to the South Side." *Cubdom implodes* The south side... OF THE WESTERN US! Diamondbacks here I come!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) It'll be announced to websites privately and they will spread the breaking news. There will be an update on sports channels and websites. You don't hold press conferences to announce decisions. I think we learned with the LeBron thing that it really does not make the player look very good. So there won't be a whole twitter-fest like with Abreu?
