Keep in mind this is the same Post that told us a few days ago (Sherman, I think) citing several factors which said that there was no way the Mets were going to get even a medium-good prospect for Beltran - even if they paid his freight. And, yeah, I realize that this is two different stories and one's a source and the other an opinion ... but still. multiple sources? How many legitimate sources could there really be? Do you ask Alderson and then DePodesta? I gues by now it's probably sent to Boras and out and stuff, but these reporters make it sound like Alderson has a phone list and he calls every paper in America when the terms change. I don't think we have any official confon on Wheeler either. I mean, they say it's official, but I'm pretty sure they said that about Brown too.
