“You’re traded out of the blue, and the only way you find out is by MLB Trade Rumors. All of the media and all of your friends know, but you don’t hear it from the people doing it. Once that happened, I started becoming a pretty fanatical fan of (MLBTradeRumors.com) and read it just about every day.” – Nationals star pitcher Max Scherzer
“(The) MLB Trade Rumors (app) has changed the game a little bit. That’s a great site. I think it’s a cool site because I don’t go searching the internet for a hundred different articles. You get it all in one place.” – Former Rangers and Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira
“In some instances, a Trade Rumors entry could (and has) spurred internal discussions/debate, at times leading to a ‘due diligence’ check-in type call or inquiry, resulting in a conversation that could lead to a deal.” – Mariners Executive Vice President and General Manager Jerry Dipoto
“I thought it was pretty impressive. Here’s this product that, I think, most people in the industry — regardless of your role — look at from time to time.” – Rangers President of Baseball Operations & General Manager Jon Daniels

So are the Yankees really trying to get a better pitchers then anybody they have on their current roster for scrap unproven minor leaguers!
Maybe Mad bumm for a sack of balls!
Detroit Tigers should look at signing Andy VanHeken again. Guy has a wealth of experience and has pitched wonderfully over in Korea. Even though he is 38 word has it he is in the best shape ever. Could be a innings eater and if he is as good as yes been in the past 5 years he could potentially be good trade bait at end of July for us to get more young talent. LHP, fastball 88-91, splitter, curve. Look at his videos on YouTube. Who ever signs him will look very smart at the end of the 2018 season.
I have some interest in him, perhaps with the tigers. Please email me at afarelli91@gmail.com when you get the chance
Had to respond to this article, I remember when I was a kid and all we had were the NY papers to get rumors from. The 8 year old in me is saying this site is ghe greatest thing ever. The 38 year old agrees.
Love you guys, Long live MLBTR!
