If Sweeney called and said I've got nothing to report then why bother even going to him for a report, but if he says that he hears (from the bellhop or the coffee shop waitress) that the Mets are close to Tom Seaver then bingo he gets air time. Half the time he gets on the air with Chubby and the 48 year old Virgin they lambaste his reports so it is grain of salt time again.

The Nats made him available last year, and there were no takers. Now, all of a sudden, he's a hot property? Sorry, Matt, I don’t buy the fatc that teams are dying to have Ryan Church.

He did like 5-6 interviews on WFAN throughout the day starting with Joe Boningo and continuing through MATMD. Each time he was being pressed for hot rumors. If there was ANY truth to that it would have been widespread and at least verified by one legitimate sports news site like ESPN, FOX, etc. This is the time of year that rumors and speculation are dished out like turkey on Thanksgiving. Every little murmur is magnified and then it spreads like wildfire in the blogosphere as it morphs into a larger than life story that never had any truth as it's basis to begin with. This entire Bedard rumor was weak and had no legs and was ignited more because of wishful thinking than anything else in my opinion.. Murti has no idea of what he’s talking about.
