Note: Be Careful of Rumors

by Matthew Cerrone on December 5th, 2007 at 7:36 pm

so, if you scroll down and read through the previous posts, you’ll conclude, like me, that a scenario could exist in which the Mets trade a collection of prospects, as well as Oliver Perezand end up with Johan Santana, Dontrelle Willis and Ivan Rodriguez along with his $13 million dollar contract

…yes, this feels like fantasy baseball talk…i agree…however, for fun’s sake, if there is any realistic way for this to all happen, and i doubt that there is, i would be all for it

by the way, speaking of insanity, keep reading

According to the New York Post, both A’s GM Billy Beane and Mets GM Omar Minaya denied this rumor, which linked their teams and the Twins to a deal involving Johan Santana, Dan Haren and Jose Reyes

Beane, as quoted by the Post’s Joel Sherman…

“I rarely comment on trades publicly, but let me comment on this one: It is an absolute, total fabrication.”

i am officially embarrassed for the blogosphere, that beane and minaya had to actually answer that question…eek
