The tweet was made to seem legitimate, but turns out old man Doug was just joking around.
I don't know what kind of idiot would make such a joke but imagine being Brooks or his family and seeing this tweet, getting all excited, just to find out it was a lie.
Can't imagine the team being happy with their most renowned beat writer putting out some BS like this. I think it's time for Dougie to retire.

I guess this officially means Brooks won't be getting signed to a multi-year deal? Poor kid...
