Every day. I want to learn how to fly one day. Though, my career is killing my vision (software engineering).

So can someone give me the cliff notes?

The Korean Blue Jay equivalent of Chuck made up stuff?  Is that what I am hearing?

The story is obviously bullshit. What human being wouldn't want an unlimited supply of Asians?

The fry in the hand of the guy on the right is going to a pigeon.  It is 50-50 if the pigeon will eat it.

The rest of the fries will be thrown in the trash.

Here’s the key quote:

”Despite serious interest from the Blue Jays, Ryu still wanted to wait for offers from the Angels and Dodgers. In the Dodgers case, it is believed that though there were discussions of bringing Ryu back, the offers that Ryu received were disappointing. As for the Angels, a formal offer was never put on the table. According to Ryu’s camp, the Angels didn’t want two Asian players on the same team. Rather than separating their marketing efforts between the Korean and Japanese markets (the Angels already have Shohei Ohtani, a Japanese player), they instead wanted to focus on Japan.”

This seems odd. Was this a request from Ohtani's camp? Was this Arte meddling and telling Eppler not to pursue Ryu? The info is from a translated article in Korea, so maybe Ryu’s camp was just speculating on why the Angels didn’t pursue him too hard? Really bizarre. 

But if that’s accurate that they didn’t want two Asian stars, I doubt that was Eppler making the call. Sounds more like he was given instructions from on high not to pursue Ryu. 

If that is what Ryu said, which unless he has proof, piss on him.

the Angels didn't want to pay 80 mil over the next 4 years to an out of shape pitcher with an injury history who will be in his mid 30's for most of the contract.

Yes. This is also why we haven't traded for David Price.
