With the news coming Sunday that the winning $12.85 million bid for KBO star Byung ho Park and his services had been placed, fans in many cities were combing through twitter at record paces. As beat reporters and national baseball writers named the teams that were NOT in the running, Pittsburgh Pirates fans got excited at the possibility of Byung ho Park joining his former Nexen Heroes teammate Jung ho Kang in PNC Park.
This morning all hell broke loose.
I was driving this morning while listening to MLB Network Radio, and heard C.J. Nitkowski report that his sources told him that the Pirates had won the bid for Park.
