Omar Minaya “is thought to have signified a willingness” to offer five years to Jason Bay.
A deal between the Red Sox and Padres for Adrian Gonzalez “is not close, and might not happen at all.”
The Cardinals are negotiating with Matt Holliday, and “one Cardinals person expressed faith it could get done.”
But “a baseball source familiar with the negotiations” for Holliday said he and agent Scott Boras “are still looking for something that they’re not finding.”

I blame this all on Twitter.
Also, I should really stop paying attention to the hot stove. It’s fun, but this year just seems completely out of control.
When I read Omar is “thought to have signified a willingness,” all I can think of is a reporter asking him about the Bay negotiations and Omar’s face spasming out of control.
Problem is nothing gets checked before its reported. With all these informal blogs and twitter, the reporting hearsay often somehow gets turned into what people want us to believe is fact.
Just this morning, on CBS morning NEWS, this was the actually morning news, they were reporting about more Tiger Wood mistresses, starting the report out with ‘unconfirmed reports say’ , thenwent on to report basically what they just admitted were unconfirmed reports.
Since when did network news report rumors and speculation that is not confirmed. I figured Network news was like the last line, even if its a day late, i always felt you could at least know you were getting facts.
That is “Tedtastic”
