I do my news browsing via an RSS feed reader (Google Reader specifically). This has the advantage of putting all my stuff in one place, makes things a lit more readable. It also has the advantage of sometimes seeing things that were removed. You see, not everyone properly updates their RSS xml file all the time, and a story gets removed from the website, it’s not always immediately removed from the rss feed.
Such is the case with mlbtraderumors, who posted a story earlier this evening about the Rangers and Matsuzaka. The story has since been removed, but it was still in the rss feed. This is what it said:
Early reports appear to indicate that the Rangers may have submitted the highest bid for Daisuke Matsuzaka. An emailer just wrote in to tell me that 1310 Sports Radio in Dallas reported that Texas posted the highest bid, estimated to be around $25MM. In addition, I’m hearing that Bruce Levine of ESPN 1000 reported that the Cubs did not win the bidding. We’ll see if we can get a few more sources to confirm this preliminary info.
Did anyone here who listens to the Ticket hear that story? Would like to know if that was really said on the Ticket or not.
