About MLB Trade Rumors

By Tim Dierkes | January 9, 2008 at 3:25pm CDT

MLB Trade Rumors is a clearinghouse for relevant, legitimate baseball rumors.  The site focuses on the hot stove – trades and free agent signings.  Rumors come from established journalists, including our own writers, and always include a link to the source material.  All 30 teams are covered.  MLBTR is owned by Tim Dierkes.  You can read about Tim here, contact him here, and follow him on Twitter here.

MLBTR has new material 365 days a year, and attempts to post all rumors with analysis as soon as they are available.  The site was created as a hobby in November of 2005, and has grown virally.  MLB Trade Rumors now receives hundreds of thousands of pageviews per day.  The peak day – 5,245,669 pageviews –  was July 31st, 2015, baseball’s trade deadline.  MLBTR also has a Twitter feed with over 590,000 followers and a Facebook page with over 137,000 fans.

Peter Gammons, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, The Boston Herald, and many other major publications praise MLB Trade Rumors.  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.”

    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.

    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.
