MLB Trade Rumors is a favorite of baseball writers and fans of all ages, as well as tons of MLB players, executives, and agents. Said Nationals star pitcher Max Scherzer:
“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.”
And here’s what slugger Mark Teixeira had to say:
“(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.”
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
