Some of your analysts have said that it won't be a problem at. Despite what you may think, star players go into walk years without a contract. It happens league wide, it's not just a Toronto phenomenon.
I don't mind Atkins. He seems quirky and seems a bit weird around media. Exactly like Davis, except Barry is the media.
I'm sure Atkins will grow more comfortable with the media in time.
The daft is strong in this one.
Because he let the media know that he wasn't going to answer those questions and low and behold the media changed their line of questioning. That is nipping it in the bud.
Jesus man. He didn't avoid it. he said he wasn't going to f***ing talk about it. That's it that all. He ISNT going to answer questions on those topics. This isn't new, Alex was the exact same way
So put if off until they forget about Jose Bautista? Guess what, that won't happen. Nip it in the bud and move on. Because he can't avoid the press until they forget about it, however convenient that may be.
What exactly is stupid about it? That he doesn't talk about potential trades? That he doesn't talk about contract negotiations?
Would you like him to start a blog? How about:

I don't think he is the stupid one
I made that mistake yesterday. He said that Osuna really wants to get paid so he would rather be a closer instead of a set up man, but he doesn't want to start. Coles notes version but listening to his two min conversation (with himself) was hard
Because it was more then likely scheduled and if Jose didn't flap his ears and open his f***ing mouth and the trade scenario never got leaked then they would have been generic spring training question. It's not that hard to understand.
