I find the baseball sportswriters for the New York Post to be reliable, factual, and very intelligent on the game of baseball. ie: Joel Sherman, George King, Ken Davidoff, etc.
The fact that this article was co-written by both Davidoff and Mike Puma (who writes a lot of articles on the Muts) tells me that the industry sources in this story are probably a couple of putz's from the Muts organization. It wouldn't surprise me if it came from Brody Van Mannequin (as Michael Kay likes to call him) himself.
