Is it Dan Duquette? Peter Gammons? Mitch Williams? Did Chuck Armstrong or Scott Boras tell them this? Drayer said that it wasn't Boras. I'll venture a guess that Armstrong didn't, either.
A "source" sounds imposing. The individual persons who issue these opinions themselves are working off preferences and guesswork just like us.

The M's are tight with their info; this Source didn't get his info from the Mariners. Drayer says this Source isn't in Boras' camp, and Boras is hardly likely to tell any Source that the Mariners, his leading suitor from a PR standpoint, aren't a factor.

I learned long ago that baseball people will project their own preferences onto the situation and sell those preferences as insider knowledge. :- )
