Bro lost all his aura. 

Once you start having to delete your own tweets, definitely.

The truth of the matter is that it’s pretty easy to say you are pessimistic that Imai will be signing with the Sox due to him being a Boras client and there being more than one interested team. Chances are likely you will be correct.

All the Japanese sources are using that original Yahoo article which seemed like speculation anyway. This whole thing has been wild. We should have resolution today though. 

A New Year's resolution?

 

Sorry, couldn't resist. 🍻🍻😁

Can someone post all the NBB Twitter receipts?  Based on what I saw, there are only two options here:

  1. Dude is legit | got word we are signing Imai | panics that this will conflict with prior hard stance that we wouldn’t | went to the Twitters to share the news | gets yelled at by his source for posting too early | pretends that we aren’t signing Imai | will come clean that “he always knew” afterwards.
  2.  Dude is a fraud | came across some fake insider suggesting the White Sox will land Imai | panics that this will conflict with prior hard stance that we wouldn’t | went to the Twitters to say despite his prior stance we may just end up landing Imai | realizes he has no idea | immediately does a 180 and says Imai ain’t happening | delete the tweets that expose him as a fraud to protect his “insider” reputation | continues to deny Yahoo Japan’s reporting that we are favorite

Either way it’s clear that the Sox are landing Imai.  I trust the Yahoo Japan reporting and we now have confirmation that only guy going against it (NBB) is a fraud.  It’s officially time to start believing fellas!

He at least admitted to it.  Still backtracking though.  Apparently he got more to the story within 3 minutes at near 1 in the morning on New Year’s Eve/Day.

So 90 year old Uncle Jerry is awake at 1am in the morning and giving real time updates to NBB who is also sharing that insider info in real time on Twitter?  Make it make sense guys.  It’s so clear this guy is full of s%*# or at minimum overplaying his hand.  BUT WHAT DO I KNOW?

Alright so I missed all this from last night...but this guy was acting like he was getting live updates like JFK during the Cuban Missle Crisis. That was embarassing.

He's still probably right but that was not a good look.

Chicago White Sox is like “ok, So it’s a negative of a double negative, and I think that makes it a positive but I’m not sure, but he also negated another prior negative so that’s like *counts fingers on hand* five or maybe even six negatives.  We are golden, fellas!”

Getz also said this during the Murakami press conference.

So yeah, color me skeptical that someone would not only get info in real time, but be able to share it on social media for everyone to see within minutes.

He should just stay more generic like the foodies…

”Talks are fluid…”

”Team could pivot to other options if price gets too high…”

”Negotiations fell through at last minute and XXXXX signed with XXXXX instead…”

🤣

Yankees are out!  Dodgers not an option.  We’re running out of non Chicago, Sox based teams fellas!

I know your post is in jest but the premise of that article is that the Yankees don’t want another mega contract potentially surpassing $150 million.  If that’s truly the number for Imai, Jerry is out as well.
