Sure, blame it on the second baseman.

Something needs to be done and it's probably going to take another lockout. The number of quality young player still unsigned at this point of the year is simply absurd.

I honestly cannot stand his rumors or his regurgitated, basically scripted lines every time "he hears something." I almost don't want Provy to sign just today so he is wrong again. I wish there was someone who was keeping every single overall rumor he has ever heard and what his overall percentage is of being right.

Sometimes I just think he treats it as an exercise in mad libs.

Tbf, he is pretty up front about his rumors being nothing more than rumors, and even says most don't happen. (frank), he has his phone number listed on his twitter, so all these "sources" could be people from the website messing with him

(frank)ing loving PROVOROV day!!! 99%er club baby!!

He did leave the 1% chance in his defense.

I feel like some of the parameters on deals should be stripped back. Too many guys holding out to try and work the system for every penny they can and sitting on their hands until somebody blinks.

This league would be so much better without a salary cap. The teams who can't sustain themselves can get (frank)ed. Unfortunately we know that won't happen.

There's a large misunderstanding of what Eklund actually does. He's not like Dreger or McKenzie. They report with the sources they have when they feel it is the right time to report it. They use a different standard. Eklund just reports rumors from his sources to drive conversation. That is the nature of what he does and how he makes his living. He's not trying to scoop everyone. He's simply reporting the noise. This is a discussion board not a news website. How often he is right, doesn't matter.

The league would be better for the big market money teams without a salary cap. Not so much for everyone else. Unfortunately, some mechanism for controlling players salaries is necessary.

At the end of the day he's never right. His "sources" are as legitimate as the ideas I come up with in my head.

It's just not looking at it the right way. The nature of the business is that an overwhelming majority of the rumors will not wind up as true.

Sounds like PHI and RFA D Ivan Provorov have agreed to terms on a six year contract.
