Yu Darvish Bids Posted

[J.D.]

Looks like the bids are posted. Four teams: Yankees, Cubs, Rangers, and Blue Jays have bid for him.

Hardball Times report.

From what I've heard, and take it with a grain of salt, the Blue Jays won the bidding.

Please let it be the Cubs.....

Looks like you are right. Possibly up to 50 million. It's be nice if our owner demanded us to make a bid.

It's been three full days since the posting period for Yu Darvish has closed, but we're still waiting to find out which team placed the high bid. That high bid will be a posting process record according to Franz Lidz of SI.com, who hears from Japanese league officials that the winning bid exceeds the $51.1MM the Red Sox paid for the right to negotiate with Daisuke Matsuzaka five years ago. The exact amount is unknown.

Yesterday we heard that the Blue Jays bid north of $40MM, making them the favorites for the 25-year-old right-hander. The Rangers, Yankees, and Cubs also submitted bids for Darvish, while the Red Sox, Nationals, Giants, Athletics, Marlins, Orioles, Mets, Rays, Angels, and Twins did not. Nearly 7,500 MLBTR readers believe he'll land in New York with the Yankees. The Nippon Ham Fighters are expected to accept the high bid just before Tuesday's deadline.

The Yankees may get Darvish?

They did place a bid, so they may win. Not sure what the point of bolding what MLBTR readers think. Doesn't the casual baseball fan think the Yankees will sign every player?

Better than the Blue Jays or Yanks.

[Remember The Alomar]

This doesn't bother me.

This doesn't bother me.

Wonder if Koji wants to stay with the Rangers more now....or wants to come back to the O's even more?
