UPDATE (10:35 p.m.): Announcement coming soon ... Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos plans to announce tonight his team won the bid for Japanese sensation Yu Darvish, according to my industry sources. I was told the Blue Jays would have an announcement around 9:30 p.m. (since delayed) that would blow away the great fans of Canada, who've been thrilled at the idea of Darvish signing with Toronto. Both parties have 30 days to agree on a contract. Early reports on the Blue Jays throwing down "a monster bid" were accurate. The bid was likely north of $50 million, a much higher figure than most in the Toronto organization expected. One of my sources: "How many tickets do you think we'll sell tomorrow? This thing will pay for itself."
Jays fans are flat-out going bananas right now. "Hope you are right. This could be a moment we look back on in a few years as the turning point in the franchise," tweeted @Anthopojays.

You lie! What makes you lie!?
no press conference has been called...how about an apology? What say you Gray?
Well, it's pretty close to 9:30.
Waiting for Alex....
ugh. You're the worst.
You get any extra people to click on your ads with the rumor?
Nice going d-bag
10 minutes remaining...
Let the situation sort itself out before you crucify the man. He has taken a great risk putting his neck on the line, and I dont think he did it for the page views.
First off he has no facts. He is saying someone backed him up on Twitter by saying "totally agree that Jays posted best bid despite what Jon Heyman tweeted". That is saying he thinks the Blue Jays won. THINKS. You don't post something without facts.
I am not sure if I should be celebrating or holding my breath!
GET REAL GRAY! YOU ARE TORONTO'S BARTMAN!
Wow,you guys are rough, Ham Fighters delaying announcement for publicity.
Ham Fighters have until 3AM Eastern Time to announce.
good call....10 est....wait...that was a typo...you meant 10 cst right...lol
why isn't MLB announcing....as soon as the Ham Fighters accept the bid MLB should announce the winner..
ahhh its now 10:30
announcement coming soon. What exactly does soon mean in your world. 5 mintues? 20 minutes? 5 hours?
My Gosh, Ham Fighters really playing this one to the hilt....announce it so I can go to bed and everyone can apologize to Graymatter.
So, you appear to have been mistaken. At least you got a bunch of hits eh?
You're a tool.
Not cool.
But don't forget to click on his ads people so he can make money off of Google Ads. Reported.
Sorry - the Rangers won the bid.
Do you just make $hit up for the hell of it? You're a loser. Stick with your dill seeds dillweed.
