Look, Chico, if that's even your real name...

I don't have anything to add. Just wanted to say that.

I hear she's been giving that stuff out to all those graffiti guys

 

[Braves1976]

Mark Bowman says the deal isn't done yet.

Oops, looks like we posted this at about the same time.

DOB already reported him being signed and put up an article on signing him too.

Baseball America is an awfully good source on this kind of stuff, so it might just be the Braves waiting to make this official with MLB until the dust settles in San Diego so they have a little more flexibility with roster spots the next few days as they try to deal guys like The Rev and Varvaro

True, it probably is a deal that is all but official.

Also, no need to convince me about BA being a good source, I subscribe to BA myself.

I have reason to believe almost any source over Mark Bowman.

Well, you know what they say. It ain't over 'til the . . . syntactically challenged beat writer tweets.

Hehe, me too!

Here’s a two-year old video of a Toscano AB in Cuba.

If it doesn't start at 5:27, then just skip to it if you want to see a two year old video of a Toscano AB in Cuba.

All? I heard maybe just Juan.

Are those baseball uniforms or pajamas?

Maybe a little bit of both?

Reminds me of when Raul Mondesi sent out a press release stating: "I have signed with the Atlanta Braves for one million American dollars. I am excited to win back the hearts and minds of the American people. I am LITERALLY on my way to Atlanta right now"

Immediately, the Braves responded: "Um... we totally don't know anything about this... I'm not even sure we've talked to this guy... *cough*shut up Raul*cough*"

Ah... found it. Here is an article by some dude named Kyle:

Maybe the Braves don't want the deal to become official until after the Rule 5 draft.

Maybe he was ready to sign but Bowman ate the pen. Is there a more likely scenario?

The kid should be happy if Bowman only ate his pen.

Talentless ****ing hack.

Talentless ****ing hack.

Would YOU sign Raul Mondesi for 1 million?
