I can think of at least two, but both come down to trust/how it looks to the players on the team:So if a guy is transferring out.... Why keep it a surprise? What, he's going to get mad and stay?
1. They are trying to convince him to stay and leaking that he is looking at leaving betrays trust (and would also likely bring fan pressure which I am sure they would not appreciate)
2. If they are pushing him out, it would be a bad look to other players on the team if that information is coming out on a podcast before the player gets to release that info on their terms.
