@SamBlum3 The narrative that free agents donโt want to sign with us is just a tired take at this point. Every player has different expectations that often go unnoticed by us on the outside
@SamBlum3 1 Kikuchi wanted to sign with us
2 Kenley Jansen wanted to last year and even expressed a desire to come back
3 Kevin Pillar talked with your friends at FT about staying past the deadline in hopes of coming back in โ25
@RedSoxEnjoyer24@gingersnaphyde I stood
Many others did too
Sure, there were a lot of boos from Halo faithful that home opener but a lot of us stood too ๐ซก
@BeyondTheHalo I honestly wouldnโt read too much into Kenโs wordsโฆ We know Perry is very coy when talking about free agentsโฆ Always talks about โfitโ and if itโs the right fit, they will add a player
I doubt Perry has given Ken info that heโs been lobbying Arte to get Snell or JD
@BeyondTheHalo I think Arte just has a fixed financial figure and he is waiting for Snell / Boras to move towards that figure.
Nightengale mentioned (seems like a lifetime ago now) that Arte was waiting for things to dip below the $200mil mark
