Is anyone here a rumor monger?

[Brock Beauchamp]

We're looking for a couple of people to help us out with the rumors section. I didn't expect to request this for a few more weeks but given the Marlins' recent behavior, I should probably get moving on this.

This would be for the Cubs, Brewers, and Twins sites. It's a paid role based on number of posts. Basically, all we need is for people to keep an eye on Twitter and places like MLBTR and scour for rumors about baseball. Here is an example. When you spot a rumor, it's 5-10 minutes of writing and you're on your way.

Can we be clear for once that it’s for RUMORS and what that means? Or not simply posting everything that MLB Trade Rumors posts, because some are confused with that and are posting everything from done deals to well, everything. Unless you want everything from rumor to completion?

And is it just Twins and Twins relevant rumors in that forum, or entire league rumors?

It needs to be at least loosely connected to the team in question. Like if the Brewers need a starter and it’s rumored the Marlins are shopping a starter, that’s a rumor worth posting.

But if some random team is shopping a shortstop, that’s not something you post here on TD. The Twins are definitely not looking for a shortstop. Some general knowledge of various teams and judgment calls are required.
