it's probably telling that he's publicly downplaying the likelihood of any addition in what is surely a response to the Verlander stuff.


Is it though? Wouldn't you want to set expectations really low in case no trade happens, especially after the Britton fiasco?

Luhnow usually seems pretty forthcoming in his interviews but it is always hard to tell when him or any GM is being honest or negotiating through the media. If I were betting I don't think they end up dealing for Verlander, but I don't it's some huge long shot.

And that same thing thing goes for what is being leaked to writers as well that they're posting on Twitter. I'm pretty Heyman just regurgitates what he is told from people in the front office with zero interpretation
