Jays rumours/sources via Twitter and internet 

Post#1 » by MGD24 » Wed Jan 4, 2012 8:51 pm

*Mods feel free to lock if it doesn't deserve it's own thread.*

This offseason seems to have produced so many rumours and people who have "sources", especially over Twitter.
Maybe we can post them all in one area first. If any turn out to be true, it can have its own thread.
This can be a place where we would post about this Votto stuff that Rosenthal tweeted.
Or the 3 million sources who said Darvish was for sure coming here.

The latest one is from this guy who just created a twitter account yesterday. He says he works for the Rogers Centre and has ins with people who work with AA. For some reason Rosenthal has been speaking and listening to him, so this is the only reason it has any legs.

@tmfb82 https://twitter.com/tmfb82/ says that there were meetings all day today and this is what came of it

@tmfb82
Meeting over TRADE NEWS

tmfb82
Jays offering Alvarez, Arencibia,Drabek,Gose,Kevin Comer for Felix Hernandez, Jaso, J Campos

@tmfb82
If Seattle accepts deal can be done by Friday.


I really hope this source is fake, like it seems to be

^ That guy is a fraud. Stoeten outed him yesterday.

Google his account. He used to pretend to be an NHL insider, too.

Comer can't even be dealt because he was just drafted in the summer.

I am surprised/disappointed that Rosenthal even gave that guy the time of day. Maybe Ken was bored.

Yep, this is why I decided to take a break from Twitter. This and Darvish.

What trade or free agent signing rumor has gone around that was jays related and actually happened? Can't think of any other than during the Halladay trade.

Yeah, it's a bit discouraging to find out people just make ish up, or pass other people's stuff along as their own (separately sourced, of course) info. And I thought Facebook was a waste of time.

some other people are saying McGuire and low level prospect for gavin. Im almost sure this is another made up rumor. They are just trying to get attention

Sounds like Deck started to take is serious and now he's sick of the rumor. It isn't happening according to him.

“@Jiwan23: @deckmcguire @jaxchillinone @mykejones21 @michael_schlact @lv_ware Deck, where u headed at homie?lol” no idea!

deckmcguire Deck McGuire
“@seancole22: @AndrewStoeten how come @deckmcguire is tweeting like he has been traded?” I haven't been. People have been spreading rumors!

deckmcguire Deck McGuire
“@Jiwan23: @deckmcguire @lv_ware @jaxchillinone @mykejones21 @michael_schlact rumors always suck” they are brutal!
