### 1/5 — No Steelers

*2026-08-07, version 2.0.3*

I no longer get Steelers or Carolina Panthers stories

### 1/5 — No Dolphins

*2026-08-07, version 2.0.3*

I’ve love Trade Rumors for years but lately there has been no items in the Dolphin column. Complete blank. What up with that?

### 2/5 — Not Really Rumors

*2026-08-06, version 2.0.3*

Everything posted here is from another published source. There is no insight into anything not published. Nice that they aggregate the other pubs in one place but definitely not “rumors”

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-05, version 2.0.3*

Fav website

### 1/5 — Voiceless

*2026-08-05, version 2.0.3*

For some reason I’ve been silenced by MLBTR. I have the ability to upvote, but am no longer able to post comments.
I was never given a reason why, even after contacting the site more than once.

### 1/5 — Great insight, trying to get money grabs

*2026-08-05, version 2.0.3*

They provide great insight however the advertisement’s are annoying and a app that was able to provide free contact is now a money grab. Asking for money for extra content you now have to pay for. Shame on them!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-02, version 2.0.2*

My favorite sports info app!

### 3/5 — Great except for Paywall

*2026-08-01, version 2.0.2*

I am a senior, I can’t afford to pay for subscriptions, I understand putting special features behind a paywall. But the rumors of potential trades ?
The result is less traffic driven to your site. I don’t check in a tenth of what I used to.

### 5/5 — Mlbtr

*2026-08-01, version 2.0.2*

Awesome app!

### 3/5 — Boring at times

*2026-08-01, version 2.0.2*

Most of the time never see too many new stories
