After reports began swirling that the Chicago Cubs had signed free agent closer Craig Kimbrel to a contract, the team’s social media accounts had some fun with the story.
Rather than commenting on the reports, which indicate that Kimbrel has signed a three-year deal with the Cubs, the club’s social media accounts used terms like “rumors” and “breaking” to toy with fans a bit:

“The rumors are true – it’s a bit foggy here tonight,” one tweet read.
“BREAKING the scoreless tie,” another said.
When and if the Cubs confirm the reports, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
