    My only question is how or why would anybody leak this?

    I never thought I'd see Goldschmidt with such terrible numbers.

    If it is they had better be moving salazar and not cole or matthews that is too high a price to pay for him.

    About the same. Most of the stuff leaked on twitter prior to the announcement is useless drivel.

    "Yankees-Dodgers in a total bidding war for Paredes... buckle up!"

    (two hours later)

    "Paredes to Cubs".

    Had to have ESPN on and catch a ticker or wait for Sports Center. Before that hope your local broadcast discussed it during the sports section of the news.

    Most likely they caught the owners near each other during warmups.

    Maybe they were both in the shitter.

    Speaking of which, MMP bathrooms are pretty stinky as of late. Almost like they're not even trying anymore. Please don't take ***** at the ballpark.... but if you have to, please flush.

    Back in the 60s + 70s we'd read about it in the paper or hear about it on the radio (broadcast of the teams game the following day).
