About MLB Trade Rumors

By Tim Dierkes | January 9, 2008 at 3:25pm CDT

“You’re traded out of the blue, and the only way you find out is by MLB Trade Rumors. All of the media and all of your friends know, but you don’t hear it from the people doing it.  Once that happened, I started becoming a pretty fanatical fan of (MLBTradeRumors.com) and read it just about every day.” – Star pitcher Max Scherzer

“(The) MLB Trade Rumors (app) has changed the game a little bit.  That’s a great site. I think it’s a cool site because I don’t go searching the internet for a hundred different articles. You get it all in one place.” – Former Rangers and Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira

“In some instances, a Trade Rumors entry could (and has) spurred internal discussions/debate, at times leading to a ‘due diligence’ check-in type call or inquiry, resulting in a conversation that could lead to a deal.” – Mariners Executive Vice President and General Manager Jerry Dipoto

“I thought it was pretty impressive.  Here’s this product that, I think, most people in the industry — regardless of your role — look at from time to time.” – Rangers President of Baseball Operations & General Manager Jon Daniels

Reading MLB Trade Rumors is like looking over the shoulder of every GM, agent, and player in baseball.  MLBTR is a clearinghouse for relevant, legitimate baseball rumors.  The site focuses on the hot stove – trades and free agent signings.  Rumors come from established journalists, including our own writers, and always include a link to the source material.  All 30 teams are covered.  MLBTR is owned by Tim Dierkes.  You can read about Tim here, contact him here, and follow him on Twitter here.

MLBTR has new material 365 days a year, and attempts to post all rumors with analysis as soon as they are available.  The site was created as a hobby in November of 2005, and has grown virally.  MLB Trade Rumors now receives hundreds of thousands of pageviews per day.  The peak day – 6,746,362 pageviews –  was July 30th, 2021, baseball’s trade deadline.  MLBTR also has a Twitter feed with over 708,000 followers and a Facebook page with over 150,000 followers.

    Detroit Tigers should look at signing Andy VanHeken again. Guy has a wealth of experience and has pitched wonderfully over in Korea. Even though he is 38 word has it he is in the best shape ever. Could be a innings eater and if he is as good as yes been in the past 5 years he could potentially be good trade bait at end of July for us to get more young talent. LHP, fastball 88-91, splitter, curve. Look at his videos on YouTube. Who ever signs him will look very smart at the end of the 2018 season.

    Had to respond to this article, I remember when I was a kid and all we had were the NY papers to get rumors from. The 8 year old in me is saying this site is ghe greatest thing ever. The 38 year old agrees.

    Buenos días amigos , gracias a Dios nuestro pasatiempo favorito está de vuelta ,soy de la idea de que todos necesitamos segundas oportunidades , ahora que llegó el bateador designado hay peloteros que sé que se les puede dar un contrato aunque sea por un año y si no cumplen con las expectativas se les retira pero si hacen un buen papel se les extiende el contrato , ahí tenemos a Yoenis Céspedes . Yasiel Puig
