Jake Wesley, 14-Year-Old MLB Insider, Joins Felger & Mazz
When news broke over the weekend of the Red Sox signing Hanley Ramirez, it wasn't the standard crop of baseball reporters to deliver it.
Instead, it was a 14-year-old kid from Missouri.
That kid, Jake Wesley, has become a bit of a Twitter phenomenon in the days since, as he's built up his sources in rapid time and stayed on top of developing stories in baseball.
CAN CONFIRM. Multiple sources say that the Red Sox have agreed to a contract with Hanley Ramirez. Club has not confirmed

Unless @DfineNrmLC and I have crap sources, Hanley is your newest Red Sox. We both have been told it, by different people. Hmm

As I said, terms of length and money are final. Working on minor stuff. It's happening. Hanley is a Red Sox

Wesley joined the Felger and Massarotti program on Tuesday afternoon to discuss how he developed his sources, how he keeps up on the latest news while in high school (he's a freshman) and what he expects to happen around the league.
