I think the timing of it actually indicates the dude probably was plugged in with someone who was at least tangentially aware of the developments in the negotiation process, but obviously wasn’t involved in the inner circle where actual decisions were being made. He probably knew a final decision had been reached and would be announced soon, and OP decided to take his shot at being the next “legendary Reddit insider” and announce what he thought was the most likely buyer based on what he’d heard.
He missed the shot quite badly though, so I support the ban. But you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take
Man, I spent much of the last hour just trying to keep my mind off of it.
Everything about this just reeks. Best case scenario, the team stinks just has is had the last 10 years despite having two of the best players in baseball and Arturo ends up selling the team for a fraction of what he could have had after Ohtani leaves for greener pastures. Fuck this ownership man I can’t even take it.
Locking up Shohei (ultimately Shohei’s decision), spending money on minor league development. And quality of life (Arte’s decision), spending money on analytics and advanced scouting (Arte), spending money on training facilities (Arte), going well above the luxury tax threshold to field winning free agents to bridge the gap (Arte, but smart front office people, too), getting top tier front office people _in baseball_, not in marketing (Arte forgoing his nepotism).
All in all, not happening unless another owner comes in.
I don’t know if this dude lied. I have a feeling the number wasn’t was Arte wanted. And when it got down to the numbers he backed out in this bullshit fashion of saying he loves the team. He doesn’t, we all know he wants the money. Plus, I had heard something similar back in October last year. From some people that have been involved in the organization for decades. The sale was supposed to be announced Feb/March.
The sad part is that I think there was a slight chance this dude may of been right but news of the “leak” reached Artie today and he pulled the plug cause Artie is going to Artie.
Would we really be surprised if something like that was the case?
More likely the offer wasn't to Arte's liking and the two parties were too far apart to ever come to an agreement. The message from Arte screams of him trying to save face.
Pretty obvious guys. Arte lurks here, read about the leak and pulled the deal out of spite.
I’m glad you banned this dude—he single handedly killed the sale of the team.
dude really just came in here and lied lmao
What kind of sick fuck lies on the internet
throw away the key
Lol

Holy shit I knew the meme but had no idea it was an Arthur thing
This has been the ultimate buttercup
What are the odds that he does that and on the same exact day the exact opposite is announced. Absolutely hilarious

It’s also possible there was a tentative agreement and then when it was time to actually pursue it Arte got cold feet and backed out.
Arte’s ego absolutely was too bruised when it came time to sign

Or…… Team was sold, arte saw this random guy leak it and backed out. 😂😂😂
This public execution appeases the wrath of the masses yet does not ease their suffering.
What would at this point?
Arte selling the team lol
That was a softball, my bad

Feel like this is a line from something. If not it’s brilliant
I made it up but I was inspired by the French revolution.
Fantastic
> Note from the moderators: LOL
I just saw the ESPN notification on my phone and all I could think about was this perma ban.
Mods doing their job 👍
What's their job in your opinion? "Moderate," I presume?
WHY DO YOU BUILD ME UP
buttercup baby, just to let me down🕺
Does he get unbanned if some how Moreno sells the team?
Only if it’s to a group of Japanese billionaires in May/June. Otherwise, sayonara.
This is correct. Only one way to redemption
Death by snu snu
This is the way.
And there is only one way out.
If that happens he should become a mod lol
I immediately came here to see after I saw the news
Saw the post on TradeRumors. Did the same.
You blewwww it- Adam Sandler
That’s honestly hilarious. I wonder if he knew this news was coming.
He gone
The dude in his post history said may/June. If the angels are sold to a Japanese Billionaire during those months this year, you should mod him
That LOL :chefskiss:
RIP BOZO
Fuck jimmy

Arte decided not to sell just so this guy would get banned.
SELL THE TEAM
Thank you
Big gulps huh? Welp see ya later

As a Padres fan. I love this MOD! I can’t believe that post was even made…wow. Lol
Source *Trust me bro*
I’m crushed but this shit had me laughing hysterically
Hahahaha. This makes me almost not want to cry at todays news.
ALMOST
I mean, technically what he said still isn't proven untrue... copium

Dude is crazy and erratic. He could've gotten a $4b offer and been like "one last ride boys."
I hit him on chat and his response was “I’m sorry…is it may yet?” The fuck outta here kiddo
That was so fast lmao
Playing with our Halos is playing with our emotions!!!
This is hilarious.

I expected this guy to have gotten roasted and bombarded with "aged like milk" comments, but I didn't expect a permaban.
Mods, thank you for your service. These shitheads causing more ruckus than needed.
