the guy, otis, who orrignally posted this on WSI, works in the front office for the bosox... and has some ties to the white sox as well... i guess that from what ive heard he has reported 9 trades, including the manny-arod-maggs-nomar deal... that was 2 months before the media had heard anything... it didnt fall through, but the talks were real... this gives the guy some credibility in my book
