Typically we’d just file this as an interesting report, but the story continues from here. Darvish saw Passan’s tweet, and responded to it on Twitter by giving him thanks.

You might think that’s sarcasm, but Darvish truly meant it.

For what it’s worth, Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich refuted the report.

Whether the Marlins knew or not, Darvish admitted he spotted his errors, so at least the report did some good.
