About MLB Trade Rumors

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

“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.” – 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.” – Former Rangers President of Baseball Operations & General Manager Jon Daniels
