Honestly I look at twitter daily and 90% of the time his named pop up was on this board. Than the Nats blew their load for him. I'm fine with what I said.
Insider info:
Edwin: You better get me that deal you had me decline with my team of choice or you're f***ed.
Kinzer: Don't worry Edwin I got you. Don't listen to the s*** you're hearing.
Kinzer Calls Atkins: Ross you gotta help me out man. Please put that deal back on the table. Edwin loves Toronto man lets do this.
Atkins: We have moved on Paul. I just don't see a fit any longer at that price.
Kinzer: Ross man you know Edwin only wants to walk that Parrot in Toronto. This is on me Ross. Don't let Edwin pay for my mistake.
Atkins: I wish you all the best Paul. I hope Edwin gets the 100+ million you feel he would get. (hangs up)
Kinzer: f***!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edwin: What happened?
Kinzer: Nothing everything's fine. You just get ready for 2017!
Sportsnet literally had a commercial about his arm last spring saying he was working on his velocity in the off-season lol. Honestly though I feel bad for Jose.
I'm not looking forward to the reaction when we don't sign Fowler, Bautista, or Edwin. Radio, internet, and television will be complete aids. I might have to watch Raptors games on tape delay.
I feel sorry for Edwin. He wanted to be a Blue Jay and got a great offer. But his agent and friends probably convinced he could get a massive deal and that's just not going to happen for him.
Not sure if I believe but interesting they would give him 3 years at that price after virtually putting him on the back burner for 2 months. I have said this many times I would like to have Bautista back. But he needs to be transitioned to First Base to keep him healthy and help our defence.
I don't understand why anyone would give Saunders a multi year deal. His knee could go at anytime. Unless the second year was non guaranteed no thanks.
