The Cincinnati Reds' acquisition of starting pitcher Matt Harvey is expected to pay dividends when the team "flips" the former New York Mets ace, presumably to a contender for a prospect or prospects.
And Harvey's name, not surprisingly, is surfacing in trade rumors. But once again, an unintended consequence of the Reds bringing Harvey to Cincinnati is trolling and exaggeration about the Queen City from a sports columnist.
Newsday.com's Anthony Rieber attempts to connect the dots between a report from colleague Erik Boland that a Reds scout was at Yankee Stadium on Monday night and possible interest in Harvey from the Bronx Bombers.
