What is worse? Old ladies yapping gossip about neighbors, or grown men yapping rumors about trades?
I mean, really, look at all these expected trades, and tracking of gossip. This is as bad as Jim Cramer making his forecasts, or the weatherman telling you what’s going to happen next week. It’s like talking about your dreams: it’s not real, and two days later, who the heck remembers their dream?
Manny was right: trading him for Favre would have ended two soap operas.

I personally love reading MLBTR. If you consider it more gossip than sports, just consider the entire site a bunch of non-sports posts and “Enter at your peril, avoid at your pleasure.”
I think it’s good that we don’t have to go searching all around the internet when a trade actually does happen.
