I asked a MFY fan in my office and he said "personal business." I guess with the MFYs, the dispatches from on high are accepted at face value. Winning cures all ills or something? I dunno. Sometimes it seems like Jon Heyman and other sharks are in the operating room with Beltran, or working as Jeff Wilpon's shrink.

Lots of ways to find a leak. Maybe they went to Byrnes' wife?

With the Eiland thing I'm curious too, but I've got to believe that all the reporters, tweeters, etc. know what the deal is and have been respectfully asked not to report whatever it is.

That's cool with me. It's refreshing to think that some requests to not report a salacious but not necessarily newsworthy story can be honored.

If in fact that is the case.
