Well, in the "who knows if its true because I dont know if these Japanese twitters are any more knowledgeable than the American ones" :

More than a couple of translated Japanese twitters say he's been awarded to Texas.

Yeah, the problem is discerning the other reporters that are using it as a source.

mlb.com has nothing updated, don't think they would miss a beat with this story

I'm expecting MLB Network to fill me in the second anything is official.

For real, this time...are y'all seeing the 51.7 million report from Yahoo?
TXAggie2011
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, that one.

Based on the article that goes with the Tweet, it almost sounds as if they just had a collection of sources that reported bids...he uses the wording "Nippon will accept the bid."

Idk, I'm paranoid at this point I guess.

Now it's non stop MLB confirms Texas. Still questionable.

The question now is why this instead of CJ Wilson?
Boyd Fistmas

more upside and 5 years younger

By the numbers...Yu is sick. 6'5 freak that hasn't thrown a season over a 2 ERA yet. Also threw 276/36 K/BB last season. Verlander last season threw 250/57 (Wilson with 206/74). Smart move by the Rangers.

Naturally he'll face Albert in his first season.

It appears as though this was Plan A all along.

I'm guessing the assumption was that CJ wasn't serious about returning.

JD though Yu was worth it...CJ? Not so much.

Pretty telling.
