Take this with the largest grain of salt you can find but Marty "Mouth of the Midwest" Tirrell is tweeting that his sources are telling him Iowa Corn is scrapping the trophy.

Is the source his dentist?
They have no choice. Iowa Corn has become well known to the public for all the wrong reasons.
Is there one good PR person in the whole of the state of Iowa? It certainly doesn't seem like it.
Tirrell isn't claiming to like the trophy because of a sponsorship. He's claiming to like it because he's a **** and that's what he does.
Marty surprises me once in a while when he actaully gets something right. He tweeted about the whole Bubba Starling contract pretty early and he was questioned because nobody could find anything anywhere else. I think he got the amount slightly wrong, but I was shocked he actaully had a reliable source on it. So I guess I'm holding out hope that he has a good source on this too. But he's given out plenty of bad information over the years, so who knows

Regarding Starling, there's a really good chance Tirrell simply guessed. There was about a 95% chance that Starling was going to sign with KC and if he signed it was clear the amount would be $7-9 million. Any reporter could have simply thrown out a number like Tirrell did. I think that if there was more to it than a simple guess, someone else (someone closer to the Royals organization probably) would have picked up on it.
