This is pretty interesting. Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer is one of the top remaining free agents left on the market with both the Royals and Padres vying for the All-Star’s services.
Unfortunately they may have let the cat out of the bag, and somehow revealed they are close to signing him.
#Padres posted a picture on Instagram of Eric Hosmer. Also tweeted stay tuned…
Both have now been deleted.#Padres must be close to either signing Hosmer, or firing their social media operators. pic.twitter.com/UcP2U0PUqi

The comes the denial. Look below.
Padres team official: The club's social media accounts, which posted and deleted Eric Hosmer items late last night, were hacked. As of now, it is unclear how that happened. Although teams run their respective accounts, they technically are assets controlled by MLB Advanced Media.

So are we buying this? I don’t know, the old I got hacked excuse is getting kind of stale.
