Insiders brawl

[Laika]

Every Chris Cotillo tweet hot take format:

 

A: Per this other person, this might happen.

B: Follow up tweet with baseless speculation.

[Ziggyy108]

3:46pm: The Red Sox are actually not involved at all in discussions on Miley, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports on Twitter.

 

3:40pm: The Red Sox are indeed nearing a deal to acquire Miley, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports reports on Twitter.

 

 

 

HAHAHA wow. Seriosuly I f***ing hate social media. Wish I grew up 50 years ago hah!!

[King]

I bet Morosi is panicking after seeing that Nightengale tweet. And vice versa.

 

Remember when Bowden f***ed up during the trade deadline, and tried to cover it up by deleting his account?

It would work fine if we weren't forced to hang on the every word of trigger-happy click-bait hacks.

[Ziggyy108]

So of all these "Insiders" ... Has anyone done any research to figure out which guys usually have good information and which guys consistanly spew out ********.

 

I don't follow any of this s*** on social media. Just read this Forum and other blogs and such to get news.

[NorthOf49]

 

You're responsible for what YOU post on YOUR feed. Teenage insiders...

[GreekFatAss]

One would think that it is better to be right than first.

[Ziggyy108]

Whats up with Jed Lowrie? Can we sign this guy!

 

I think Gibbons said something like it would be really hard to upgrade second base but Gibbons is a pretty unintelligent guy.

The problem is that only a few of these guys are actual journalists who respect the process. Most are clickbait hacks, as intentional wok said.

[Inklink]

Guys, I'm hearing rumblings, it's almost dinnertime.

[Ziggyy108]

[King]

Nothing will beat the minor league reporter who said we signed Darvish and already had a press conference scheduled for him.... He went all in and Crashed HARD lol.. I can't but a name on him right now thought.

Kevin Gray.

[King]

IIRC, Kevin donated all the money he got from the clicks to his website that night to a charity.

[Sammy225]

Good on him.

[gbill2004]

@Buster_ESPN: The Dodgers have acquired shortstop Jimmy Rollins from the Phillies.

Scott MacArthur

‏@TSNScottyMac

I'm told #BlueJays have expressed interest in 33-year-old Japanese SS Takashi Toritani as a potential option for 2B. #MLB

 

 

Scott MacArthur

‏@TSNScottyMac

Re: Toritani. He's a Boras client. There is no formal offer on the table. Term/$$ not yet discussed. But there's interest. #BlueJays #MLB

[NorthOf49]

Jimmy Rollins is still pretty good. I like it for the Dodgers if they didn't have to give up much.

[King]

#Dodgers make a deal for a shortstop, grabbing Jimmy Rollins from #Phillies - makes Dee Gordon even more available? #Bluejays #Jays

 

Dee Gordon sucks, Mike.

[King]

Bahahahaha

 

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 49s49 seconds ago

#DBacks GM Dave Stewart on rumors that #RedSox are close to Miley deal: "We are not talking to Boston."

[GreekFatAss]

Gordon might not be a perfect player, but I wouldn't be opposed to adding him to play 2B and add some much needed speed to the lineup.
