But I've felt that other recent WM would be busy, and they weren't. So again, I will believe it when I see it - but not saying it won't happen.

Expand Making a 50/50 prediction and guessing correctly does not mean anything. Any Tom, Dick or Harry would not be going out on a limb and saying "Sources say Cole to the Angels/Yankees for nine years $330 million, talks are fluid" That does not make you an insider.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Every year people ask why these fake insiders exist, and question the point of them... but every year fans link all their tweets and discuss them. I think the attention is what they seek, so best not give it to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) It‘s probably the Yakult Swallows.
