It seems to me that I’ve written an article like this before, though I can’t find anything specific to this topic right now. But even if I have, I think this sort of thing bears repeating.
Every day I see articles written about teams “linked” to a certain free agent, or “interested” in that player, or “would make a good fit” for that player.
And right away, you’ll see reactions as if those things have been sent down on stone tablets from the heavens as fact.
I’m here to tell you they’re far from that. You surely know, or if you don’t you should, that many of these “reports” by national writers are planted by agents trying to drum up interest in their clients, or try to drive up the price.
