I had similar happen to me with the Twins, Dodgers, Red Sox trade. I'm not much of a baseball guy, but my buddy worships the game. I was had by an impersonator Ken Rosenthall account, that was speculating hard on some fringe aspects of the trade as reported by MLB.com and Ken Rosenthall .
I started blowing up my buddies DMs like, "DUDE! THE TWINS ARE CLOSING IN ON WALKER BUHLER! KEN ROSENTHALL IS REPORTING IT ON TWITTER!!!"
I had to admit I didn't know enough about baseball to not be duped by an impersonator.
