When it comes to speculation. I try to focus on rumors from credible peoplein the field, like Jon Heyman, Ken Rosenthal, Bob Nightengale, Joel Sherman, Jon Morosi, Jason Stark, Tom Verducci, Mark Feinsand, Michael Kay, Mike Fransesa and others, who do have direct contact with MLB executives, GM's, managers, scouts, players, etc. And I stay away from bloggers from bogus websites.

Speaking of credible people who have sources from within, here's the latest on Machado and the New York Yankees from SNY's Andy Martino.
