Mike Clevinger may be on the verge of heading to San Diego, or a couple verified Twitter accounts may have been fed some bad information.
On one side is one of Twitter’s countless “random stat guy” accounts, saying that the Padres are making a splash with Clevinger.
Backing up his report is the oft-wrong Bob Nightengale, who also thought the Indians would actually trade Clevinger to the White Sox for Adam Engel and Michael Kopech.
Several rival teams who were involved in the Mike Clevinger trade talks believe that he's headed to the #Padres, confirming report by @theaceofspaeder

On the other side is Robert Murray, who I have never of but has “MLB Insider” in his Twitter bio, so he must know things, right?
