It seems like someone in the organization ran their mouth off to Divish and said some things that they shouldn't have.  "There had been growing concerns about Buck's defense and receiving and blocking from the Mariners crew of hard throwers."
Your right that this is the sort of team dirty laundry that shouldn't be aired on the front of mlbtraderumors.  There is a sports code that players should not denigrate or criticize their team mates.  It reminds of the time that Jared Washburn was publicly criticizing Kenji Johjima before he left.
The Divish quote makes it sound like his sources might have been from the bullpenners themselves and not from the front office, which couldexplain the unprofessionalism.  McClendon said everything right, and Zduriencik remained silent on the issue, so far as we know.
