NGT: Agent Shout-out

[Rosehill Jimmy]

What's up with the tweets from Schefter, Rappaport and the like that not only break the news of a FA signing but include mention of the player's rep as well? Has that always been done and I never noticed or has it become the "cost" of being the first to break the news?

The cost to break news, the agents feed the breaking news straight to them so they shout them out.

Brand new. I guess that's the price for being called/texted first.

Agents have to use free agency and the draft to effectively market themselves. I am surprised it has taken this long for this to be the norm.
