Boston Red Sox's Alex Cora cautioned his team against trusting trade deadline rumors, claiming some ESPN personnel 'made s--- up' during his time at the network.

The MLB trade deadline is just days away. The Red Sox are trying to get better, but their manager says they're better positioned than they were the last few deadlines.

While addressing a question about what he tells his guys about getting through the deadline – which comes this Thursday at 6 p.m. EST – Cora explained that he told his players, essentially, not to believe everything they hear.
