Sometimes you just get two completely different angles on rumors
The most fun I have during the Hot Stove season is when two sources give us totally opposing bits of information. I say fun because it’s from people honestly doing their jobs and honestly reporting what they hear/see/read… whatever… and yet the data can still be 180° apart.
Here are the latest candidates, the first of which inspired this report:
Source: #Dodgers and #Braves have discussed a Shelby Miller-for-Joc Pederson trade. Details: https://t.co/wTnmA1WFWg

source says Pederson not involved in shelby miller talks. LA made clear rathe consider trading from deep prospect stash.

Goody… two excellent sources. Two completely different takes. Now what?
