With the trade deadline coming up, if you don't already check out
MLB Trade Rumors (or follow them on Twitter at

The trade deadline is wonderful for false reports and smoke screens. Jack Zduriencik, if anything, has proven that he keeps information close to vest too. I usually completely tune out Mariners reports for both of these reasons.
