I bet it has almost nothing to do with outcry, and I would love to see one of these reports say, “No more anonymous officials or scouts” unless it reveals a fact.

An anonymous official guessing at why X team might do Y with Z player is as worthless to X team’s fans as the guy calling into the radio show.

It seems to have been established that you can find a front office official or scout who will affirm almost literally any viewpoint as long as it’s anonymous.
