Here’s what I am told:
You know how all the MLB websites kinda look the same? That’s because Major League Baseball Advanced Media runs them.
Obviously webpages are worked on advance. This very post you are reading was written yesterday.
MLBAM made the info go live before it was supposed to.
Some civilians noticed it. A fat guy blogged it. Some other folks wrote about it. The Mets found out about it from whatever source they saw it on…called MLBAM and it was taken down.
All makes sense and was what I figured.
