I saw this. Obviously, the ‘reporter’ is incompetent and hasn’t been taught even the basic requirements of his job.
At the same time, I don’t necessarily see Engel’s point. Was there really much remaining doubt that much of the MLB rumor mill, especially at its lowest rungs, was powered by innuendo, intuition, and falsehoods? My impression is that anyone with the will and skill to evaluate the MLB rumor mill knew well enough who to ignore, which leads me to think Engel was basically just being snotty.
Perhaps the duped ‘reporter’ deserved it, but it’s not something I would’ve used my time or name on.
