You're right actually. It was talked about a bit, but I don't remember it being a main theory. The article was good for people who don't follow the Jays religiously.
I fear that Beeston was lying. As much as I think they will probably sign Melky, what's going to happen is they won't do anything else and then they'll say we tried but the right deal for the free agent or trade wasn't there for us. I'm a genius, right?
