User talk:98.212.131.81

February 2024
Hello, I'm Muboshgu. Your recent edit to the page Cody Bellinger appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:42, 25 February 2024 (UTC)


 * It may be waiting an official announcement, but the sources are not anonymous. The sources include Jeff Passan, an extremely accurate source/journalist. Here are a couple links showing him as a source:

 * Jeff Passan is a reporter. He is getting the information from anonymous sources. He is normally accurate but could be wrong this time. Or Bellinger could fail his physical. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:52, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

 * It's also on the Chicago Cubs official website:

 * It can't get much more official than that, so I believe it should be allowed to be changed now. 98.212.131.81 (talk) 16:53, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * oops, wrong link. Hold on a second 98.212.131.81 (talk) 16:53, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * He isn't on https://www.mlb.com/cubs/roster, which is what counts. MLB.com news articles are independent of the teams. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:54, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The Cubs wouldn't publish the article unless they knew he is signing, or has signed, with them. Sure, it could be awaiting the results of the physical to be made "officially official," but I still think that it should be allowed to be updated to him being a member of the Cubs, at least for now, and if something changes or he somehow fails the physical, it can be changed back. But you're the admin, so I guess it's your call. 98.212.131.81 (talk) 16:57, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Ugh, now I accidentally sent you the Cubs link on the wrong reply, but it's there a couple messages up. 98.212.131.81 (talk) 16:55, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The Template:Chicago Cubs roster is full at 40. Someone will have to be dropped for Bellinger's contract to take effect. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:55, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * What if I update his page to say that he's officially still a free agent, but as of February 25th, 2024, has "potentially" re-signed with the Cubs, per sources? 98.212.131.81 (talk) 17:01, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
