Rock just gave up a scoop like 2 days ago. I suppose you could say he was wrong, but he did mention a source.

I wish, man.

We need @RockRaines to come bail us out with some inside info.

Official announcement now...

Seriously. Like him or not, we don't care, but clearly his intel is good.

Someone may have already mentioned it by now, but the announcement was that the Red Line Radio boys are now going full-time with Barstool and they are opening up a Chicago office.

Unless he is thinking he wants to retire, but he wants to end his career as a Yankee. He is 34 after all, it wouldn't be shocking.

Nah, doesn't appear to, and hasn't elaborated on why we shouldn't believe the BS reporting. Seems like a false alarm, but good to know he's still alive. lol.

No. The first text was "Don't believe the BS reporting". I'm trying to figure out now why he says that and what he may have for me. Could be nothing, could also be something I can't say. But I'll let you guys know which of those two things it is.

? My Machado source just texted me. First time he's said anything since he gave me the info from their meeting. I'll let you know if it's anything juicy.

It would match up with Morosi saying that no "official" deals have been offered yet until January.

For DH? We got enough of those.

I would say Nightengale *possibly* being correct about him not fielding offers yet is way better news for us than them getting Tulo.

Yeah, but it didn't "expose" him like I was told that it would. Just someone who had a bad interaction with Dan Clark talking shit about him and his ego. I wanted some juicy shit.

Lol, we are all trained monkeys.

I got a reply. ? She said the location sold and closed last February. Not on the market, or recently sold. Damn, Manny must have got in on that place REAL early!

You said you struggled to think of an example. I didn't have to struggle, that one has been fresh in my mind for a while. Touki Touissant was a top 100 prospect at the time of the deal. Former 1st RD pick who is in the top 100? Yeah, I think that qualifies as a pretty decent prospect that the Braves got out of that deal for buying Arroyo's contract. In fact, that's a similar return to nearly every trade I proposed, a backend top 100 guy.

Not to mention that in Manny's story, he tagged the cake company that made the cakes they had last night and their only location is..... Miami! He wasn't in NY last night at all.

It's a Breaking Bad reference. I can't imagine I get a reply, I just thought it would be funny.

Well, I just sent an email to her, posing as CEO of Madrigal Elektromotoren GmbH to ask if the location was still available. So we shall see. ?

Unfortunately she followed up with Jimmy and said it has nothing to do with where Machado ends up. Just someone (not her) exposing Dan Clark as a fraud.

You think having both of them is the same as just having India? It's obviously possible they liked both of those guys, but preferred Madrigal. There could be a decent chance they would love to have both of them if India was on the table in talks with the Reds. Hell, they likely know more about India that nearly every other prospect the Reds have in their system because of their pre-draft work on him.

I really enjoy talking shit to that clown on Twitter because his history with being wrong makes him an easy target, and enough people seem to hate-follow him that it seems to get a pretty decent response. ?

Diamondbacks trade SP Bronson Arroyo and SP Touki Toussaint to the Braves for INF Phillip Gosselin. "The Braves have acquired right-handed pitchers Bronson Arroyo and Touki Toussaint from the Diamondbacks in exchange for infielder Philip Gosselin, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). Both teams have confirmed the move via press release. The move appears to be monetarily motivated for the Diamondbacks. Arroyo is owed the balance of $9.5MM this season plus a $4.5MM buyout (or $13MM option), tweets Rosenthal. The total guarantee is about $10.1MM. He could return from Tommy John surgery as soon as August. "
