"The MLB trade deadline is two weeks away. That means it's time for silly season to begin. For the next fortnight, you will be inundated with "insider reports" about contending teams showing interest in good players from non-contending teams - you know, because they all are. And I can't even begin to tell you how much due diligence is going to be done. So much diligence! All of it extremely due."

The MLB trade deadline is two weeks away. The approaching deadline ushers in a period commonly called silly season, characterized by rampant rumor and speculation. Over the next fortnight, fans and media will be inundated with insider reports asserting contending teams are showing interest in valuable players on non-contending clubs. Many reports will repeat similar claims of scouting, evaluation, and extensive due diligence. The volume and tone of coverage will amplify hype and make it difficult to separate substantive trade developments from noise. Expect elevated chatter and inflated portrayals of investigative effort rather than constant confirmed transactions.
