I thought the source that did was connected to Heyman.

Only in that both Murray and Heyman work at FanRagSports.  Heyman is not connected to this story, that I have seen.

I'm sure before any ink is dry they'll give Wieters one more shot. It's just good business. Doesn't meant he'll capitulate to their demands, though.

Who knows with Boras.  I'm sure they'll go to MW with an offer after they're near a deal with someone else.  That could be going on right now with Castillo.  I don't think we should wait a month to sign a C.  Boras likes to do package deals with his guys.  Right now there isn't too much of a market for former Oriole/Boras client, Pedro Alvarez.  3/27 for MW and 2/14 for Pedro sounds really fair right now.  

Jason Castro got 3/24.5

Steve Pearce got 2/12

No. It's just where Heyman works. No idea if other folks there post fake stories.

I think the package deal thing is a myth, with no factual basis.

So I am guessing "nearing a deal" wasn't accurate? Source not credible?

We should start a new handle called "MyLoin" and "BigBirdie"

It's not even clear if any reporter tweeted those words. I hate twitter world.

I don't believe we are signing him. I think this is just a ploy to get Wieter's price down.

LOL.  That is classic.

Having an "insider" around certainly makes for a more fun offseason.  Our local reporters don't really break anything and definitely won't stir the pot too much.  Plus our offseason's just move so slow, which I guess is what you have to do when you don't have unlimited cash or a farm system.

Heyman put out so much, he is trying to be the king of the information pile.
