TBE, I am pretty sure everyone knows all those parts. That wasn't what I was asking, though. I was pondering if they gave EE's agent a heads-up that the deal was coming off the table, or if they just pulled it??
A heads-up would signal we still want you at the terms we offered but have to move on like right now. The other says have a nice life, we just signed someone else.
From what I gather it looks like EE was hoping there would have been some counter-offer from the Jays, or some reaching out after he rejected the 4/80, so I am assuming EE and/or his agent miscalculated how the Jays would play this and when EE said no the game was over as far as the Jays were concerned.
Or, perhaps a better question for you, Gary or any Jays fans here: EE would certainly like an undo button so he could say yes to the 4/80. Do you think the way the market stands now the Jays would like an undo on Morales so they could sign EE at the original 4/80?
