With less than a remaining week before the MLB exchange deadline passes, the equipment is accelerating the phones, while the players wait for their destination for the rest of the 2025 season and beyond.

The players will tell you that they try to keep the outside noise just that, outside. But it is difficult not to see it appear on social networks, sports interview programs and more ways to acquire news.

However, the manager of the Red Sox of Boston, Alex Cora, does not want his players to create everything they hear and read. He released a particular outlet, the one that used to work.

“I can tell you stories about ESPN in the Green Sala, how people invented S — Up-Sabe, trades,” Cora told journalists on Sunday. “And I can tell you that they don't believe everything that is said, you know?”

Cora is aware that the rumors of the exchange deadline are what fans want to see, since teams try to improve their squads or look to the future when treating the main talents for future assets.

“Enter any social platform, and if you are looking for baseball, then your feed will be full of baseball stories, right?” Cora continued. “And there are many people who are very responsible with their trades, rumors and their contacts. Others are not. So just block it.”

A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that ESPN supports his reports, although it was not clear to what Cora referred to, who left the company almost 10 years ago to join the coaching staff of the Houston stars.

“I have stories, man. I don't want to bury people,” Cora said when a journalist asked who he was referring to.

Cora understands how difficult the exchange deadline from a player perspective considering its 14 seasons as one in MLB can be.

The red socks are one of those teams with a rabid fans base who always look to see what they are going to do at this time of year. It is also worth noting that one of the best commercial names is Jarren Duran, the team of stars of the team that could be moving before 6 pm on Thursday.
