Well we all know home sales take just a couple of days, especially around the holidays. Seems legit. 

I’m not saying I believe it, not in the slightest bit, just posting what he did

I wonder, historically, how many examples he can give of players taking less money for this reason - especially in baseball. Basketball sure, where they've gone into superteam mode and the salary cap was rapidly going up - we saw Lebron and Durant do that, but I can remember few cases of it happening obviously in baseball. 

I’d say zero, particularly in a situation like this with such large dollars involved.

“Lots of people willingly surrender tens of millions of dollars because they think the team offering less money is cooler—happens all the time.  I’m sure it does.”  I’ve never seen any notion so widely accepted despite being unsupported by evidence or economics.

That says he already bought a house....lol.  I mean, he’s got a good four months before he even plays a game in NYC, the obvious thing to do would be rushing to buy a giant mansion between Christmas & New Years and before signing a contract.

Fantastic twitter handle.

I didn’t think you did. At this point everyone is looking for every bit of info. Was just pointing out how absurd it was to me.

Not to mention buy the first thing you come across and then go out on the town right away with all the Yankees who are probably not in NY right now 

Based on Yonder and Machado's Instagram i dont really see how its possible he was in NY.

2 days ago he was with Yonder and his NYE post looks like its outside somewhere, so id bet hes in Miami.

Sure, if he’s not pretending to be an actual baseball journalist.

If Ken Rosenthal or Jon Heyman tweeted this, they would rightfully get roasted for it. Since that's who he's aspiring to be, that's how he should be judged.

If we can get a copy of the purchase agreement, we just need to check who he listed as his employer, and this entire mystery is solved!!!

Well, I just sent an email to her, posing as CEO of Madrigal Elektromotoren GmbH to ask if the location was still available. So we shall see. ?

It's a Breaking Bad reference. I can't imagine I get a reply, I just thought it would be funny.

Not to mention that in Manny's story, he tagged the cake company that made the cakes they had last night and their only location is.....

Miami!

He wasn't in NY last night at all.

If only we knew someone with a relationship with a mortgage company.......

Is he following him on Instagram? That would be a for sure tell tale sign that he was there!

This could be an episode in next season's The Man in the High Castle.
