I'd say the bolded indicates that DonnieD's source must not be affiliated with the Cubs. If the Braves are just a bluff now, then the bluffee kinda has to be out of the loop, right? That points the finger at the Pads' FO, or perhaps Peavy's agent. Given that, I'd say it's noteworthy that desipio/Dolan was citing a Pads FO person for his insider info earlier Tuesday. Is the same "inside" person behind both tidbits? Are there two different "inside" people leaking the same basic info? Or is this all a sinister and inhumane plot to toy with our emotions? I bet The Shadow knows.
