Sorry this is kind of a short post.... but felt it should be addressed.
The subject of who won the Yu Darvish bid is garnering a lot of noise on Twitter in regards to the Japanese pitching phenom. The top two bidders (which are essentially rumors at this point) appear to the Texas Rangers and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees, Nationals and Cubs all bid as well. I wouldn't get too excited about anything just yet. Every one is speculating and the only real news out of Toronto is that they placed an 'outrageously' large bid. The Rangers reportedly post $40 million.
For those unfamiliar with Darvish, the right hander is just 25 years old and dominated the Japanese league striking out 276 in just 232 IP in 2011.
The Rangers and Jays are the most in need of a top of the rotation arm. Stay tuned...
